BEN HARPER'S NEW BAND

I must be slacking! I haven't written about one of my favorite artists of all time - Ben Harper - lately.  Ben has put his longtime band The Innocent Criminals on hold, and his now working with a new group called Relentless7. It's a more "rock" band than the Criminals, and I've seen him perform with them twice so far: once for WFUV and once at SIRIUS XM (you can watch video of some of the performances here). Anyway, the new album, White Lies For Dark Times, comes out May 5. And he says in an interview with Billboard that he and Relentless7 have already started writing a new record.
