Album Review
Fight for Your Mind fully embraces Ben Harper's influences (Dylan, Marley, Havens, and Hendrix) into a complete sound while simultaneously broadening his thematic and musical palette. Oliver Charles' tactile drumming and Leon Mobley's percussion work give a sparkle to Harper's music that was absent on his debut. Songs like "Gold to Me" and "Excuse Me Mr." show Harper growing as a poet, approaching ideas via more subtle avenues. The single "Ground on Down" and epic jam "God Fearing Man" capture some of the explosive energy of his live performances. The latter makes allusions to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and that's exactly what Harper does — allows his trademark Weissenborn guitar to scream out to his audience. The only misstep on this album is his sophomoric weed anthem "Burn One Down," but one might argue that a little tarnish adds character.
Customer Reviews
Are you kidding?!
Not a single review on this masterpiece? Just get in the car, point it towards the sunset and play this album already....Not even going to try and explain the places, the journeys that it takes me on every listen. Genius, all of it!
College Radio
I first heard Ben when I was 15 years old in my bedroom listening to local college radio. It was the song "Like A King" and I instantly fell in love. I love him no less now that I'm 30! This album is beautiful. All these songs are iconic for me, maybe not for many others, but they are for me. This is a terrific album to start with if you're new to Ben H....like the first reviewer said....put it on and drive towards the sunset....couldn't have said it better.....
good album
i like this album a lot ive listened to it through college ha. but i dont get why burn one down is a "missed step" according to the itunes review, yet.. its the most popular song on here according to itunes? ok ha. i like it.
