White Lies for Dark Times—Album Review

Ben Harper is one of the most dynamic artists still producing records.  Ben is known for reinventing himself with every album.  From his soul driven acoustic days to his more recent date with rock and roll Ben Harper is hard to pin down.  Think of Ben Harper as the music industry’s legendary phoenix, a bird that dies and is born again from it's ashes.  This time however, Ben has been born with a new band, The Relentless 7.

Hailing from Texas, the three members of Relentless 7  rev up and rock out Harper on 12 tracks of good ole’ bluesy rock and roll. 

Harper’s signature vocals and guitar playing are not lost behind the  rockier sound however.  Ben still reminds us that it’s always been his call and he’s still the star of the show.  “Keep it Together (So I can fall apart)” is the best of the new  Harper.  The song breaks down into  a bluesy guitar solo giving Ben the time he needs to purge his soul and make his statement.

“White Lies for Dark Times” will please Harper fans but  new listeners may be confused…Is it rock?  Is it blues?  Is it soul?  The answer is:  It’s Ben Harper.  This album will get you stomping a foot or two and breaking local speed limits.  Check it out.

Notable Tracks:  “Number with no Name”, “Why must you Always dress in Black”, “Fly One Time”, “Keep it Together (So I can Fall Apart)”

Mean Everything to Nothing—Album Review

Manchester Orchestra is bringing back authenticity in the Nickelback era.  Thank fucking god.  Mean Everything to Nothing is the Georgian 5somes second studio album and it’s everything indie rock fans want, an album with heart.  Andy Hull, the band’s vocalist and guitar player purges his demons on every track, spilling his guts in ways nobody has seen since Kurt Cobain.

The meat of the album comes from a confessional theme that permeates through its eleven official tracks (and one hidden track).  The Only One, the first track, gets the lost and emotional ball rolling with the line “I am the only one that thinks I’m going crazy/ I don’t know what to do”.

Soooo excited!  Thanks a lot Phil and be expecting something from me soon.  Now I have to run to class, have to turn in a paper today.

I’ll have more later.
