Ben Harper: KCRW, Morning Becomes Eclectic Session, March 24, 2006

3 days after the official release of his latest cd titled Both Sides of the Gun, multi-genre singer-songwriter Ben Harper played this session of songs from the new album on KCRW, Morning Becomes Eclectic. Listen carefully and see if you agree with me that Ben is better off just singing those smoldering ballads, rather than those forays into every conceivable genre that has often earned him labels like too derivative, unoriginal, Lenny Kravitz + Prince imitator etc.
