Ben Harper: Welcome To The Cruel World CD Track Listing
Ben Harper
Welcome To The Cruel World (1994)
1994 - Virgin >>> + 3 bonus live tracks (not on the original CD)\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nThe full range of Harper's influences would not come to bear until later albums, but this debut lays \na strong foundation. "Like a King" and "Take That Attitude to Your Grave" burn with a political \nconviction rarely heard during the 1990s. "Forever" has a tenderness which demonstrates Harper's \nemotional range. Lackluster hippie jams that cultivated his early following may have served a purpose, \nbut feel fluffy by comparison when compared to the meatier tracks. Ben closes the album with a song \nthat frequently closes his concerts, "I'll Rise." This song, built around Maya Angelou's 1979 poem \n"And Still I Rise," reminds us of art's ability to pierce through society, self, and the soul.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This blues cd contains 16 tracks and runs 73min 39sec.
