Comment:

What do Jack Johnson, Keb' Mo', and Jeff Buckley have in common? Practically nothing, but they all share a piece of Ben Harper's spectrum-spanning sound. Harper musical mentee Jack Johnson surfs through a jam-friendly groove — assisted by Ben himself on lap steel — while divulging his discontent with the girlfriend's attitude in "Flake." Los Angeles-born Keb' Mo' brings a rough-hewn slab of Robert Johnson-esque country-blues — minus the hellhound on his trail — to "Every Morning," from his 1994 critical-smash debut. And finally, the late Jeff Buckley swoops and soars through "Last Goodbye," playing the intimacy of his emotion against the immensity of the arrangement. From Lenny Kravitz to Ray LaMontagne, from The Wallflowers to the John Butler Trio, we've got the artists who shared not only the stage and airwaves with Ben . . . but some of his style as well.
