Details: Product Description Featuring the First Single "With My Own Two Hands". Amazon.ca You hear this voice like a sob. You hear fingers sliding to caress the strings. It is Ben Harper singing, with all the heart a man can put into an artistic creation. The song is called "Amen One" or "With My Own Two Hands," and it is a divine poem that the singer-guitarist has chosen to intone. A sort of gospel of the future, a cry that passes through and continues, already coming from far away. It is even from the depths of Africa that he found the intonations for "Picture Of Jesus" with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, that moving men's choir that answers him. Always reaching toward all the sources of his music, he intelligently fuels entire tracks with vintage funk ("Brown Eyed Blues"), playing a formidable groove with the wah-wah pedal. And because Ben Harper is deceptively calm, a peaceful man waiting for his moment, when the intro to "So High So Low" bursts forth, you find yourself rising from your chair by the power and rage of the assault. It is difficult not to feel very quickly, upon listening to these songs of spirit and body, all the complexity of a man in perpetual quest. He has already found it with this sixth album, between soul-laden folk and borderless rock. --José Ruiz
