#10: Ben Harper & Relentless7 - White Lies for Dark Times

From a young age Ben Harper was surrounded by music. With artists like Taj Mahal and Leonard Cohen passing through his grandparents' music store it isn't surprising that his music infuses elements of blues, classic rock, jazz and folk to create his own unique style.

On his tenth studio album, Harper is backed by a new band, Relentless7. The album is an incredible combination of rock, on songs like "Number With No Name" and "Shimmer and Shine" as well as folk, as on "Skin Thin" and "Faithfully Remain."

It is great to see an artist still coming out with such honest and sincere songs after so many years.
