Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals: Shine

After a nine year hiatus Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals have a new collection of songs, Call It What It Is, blending the political and personal in their inimitable bold style. While rehearsing for their triumphant reunion at the Fillmore in San Francisco last year, Harper unleashed material he had been quietly amassing for this new recording, which contains the heartfelt song, "Shine."
