So Ben Harper's got this new backup band, the Relentless 7. They've got a new CD. I don't know if any of you guys have checked it out, but I haven't seen anything on it in The Shanty. I guess I'll be the first one. To start off, let's look at what's out there in cyberspace. (NOTE: These videos are of varying quality."Shimmer and Shine" on Letterman
"Skin Thin" @ Spaceland
"Boots Like These" @ The Mint
"Under Pressure" @ The Mint (not on the new CD, but a pretty popular cover)
So what's the verdict? First impressions for me, I think he rocks hard on this one. The music is solid, even if the lyrics are a little weak.
