Advantages: a superb exhibition of these guys talent Disadvantages: not enough recognition
The first time I listened to this album, I was very pleasantly surprised. It isn't renowned as one of Harper's most successful albums, but it sure is one of his best. From the deeply moving "Beloved One" to the catchy "Steal My Kisses", this album guides you through almost every emotion with the Harper's soft and warming voice being the lead.
The lyrics are, as always with Harper, very impressive. There's a real sense that this guy is writing from his own experiences and that comes across through his delivery.

Musically, again Harper and the InnocentCriminals excel. Every individual band member is talented and it comes across in the music. Small sections of improvisation perfectly executed ...

This is another great work from the delectable BenHarper, who has to be one of the most blessed musicians and songwriters of our time. He has treated us to one of his most eclectic mixes with Diamonds on the Inside. This album is full of something for just about everybody. It jumps straight into the uplifting, "With My Own Two Hands" a classic reggae track.. "When It's Good" has the Southern feel of classic acoustic blues. "Amen, Omen" is my favourite track, sends tingles through me when I hear it. "Brown ...

Album Notes
'Lifeline' is Harper's ninth studio album, and his second accompanied by backing band The Innocent Criminals. The product of months of work on new material during soundchecks on tour, the album was recorded in the space of just one week at Studio Gang in Paris and subsequently features a more raw, live feel than previous efforts, whilst successfully maintaining Harper's unique blend of rock, contemporary blues and soul. This special edition includes a DVD featuring a live performance of the entire album at XM Studios.
