Friday greetings from the sweltering northeast United States! We're flirting with 100 degrees F around here and some serious thunderstorms as well.
It's song-of-the-weekend time and today we're serving up Ben Harper's "Say You Will" from his 2007 release 'Lifeline.' Harper has released 11 studio albums, 4 live albums and one album as Fistful of Mercy in collaboration with Joseph Arthur and George Harrison's son Dhani.
A little background from Wikipedia:
Benjamin Chase "Ben" Harper (born October 28, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Harper plays an eclectic mix of blues, folk, soul, reggae and rock music[1] and is known for his guitar-playing skills, vocals, live performances and activism.[2] Harper's fan base spans several continents.[3] His albums have been commercially successful in North America, Europe and Oceania. Harper is a two-time Grammy Award winner as well, winning awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album, in 2005.
Love this guy, love this tune and love this line from the song:
like Marie Antoinette said to Louis XVI
man i think we're going down
our chances are slim and none
and I'm afraid slim just left town
Crank it up and ENJOY!
