Today's L.A. Times has a profile on Ben Harper's new side project Relentless 7. Harper will still be doing his more mellow solo work, see song below, while Relentless 7 will be more of an outlet for a "groove that's heavier and more teeth-baring." Gone are the suits, replaced by denim and cargo shorts. R7's new album White Lies for Dark Times is due late spring on Virgin. Relentless 7 is on tour now.
Video from a recent show at Spaceland:




mmm hmmm, love me some ben harper. have you heard his gospel album with the blind boys of alabama? i love just about any style of music he plays. he seems very genuine, very emotionally honest with his music. he really seems to feel any song he sings. it really comes through and makes you enjoy the music all the more. thanks for the post, i'm looking forward to hearing more relentless 7.
