Studio album number five from Ben Harper and his bunch of Innocent Criminals, and it's a varied and very satisfying listen. As always, the songs have a highly personal spiritual edge, while the music effortlessly shifts from heavy funk, folky acoustic blues, gospel-tinged ballads, reggae-styled rhythms, stinging trademark slide guitar work, and dynamic out-and-out rockers. The many longtime fans of Harper's music out there can be more than happy in the knowledge that he is still belting out his unique blend of modern soul that has made him the bonafide legend he is today. Recommended.
