Both Sides of the Gun

Both Sides of the Gun is a masterclass in artistic duality, presenting Ben Harper at his most vulnerable and his most confrontational. The first disc, often referred to as the White disc, is a sanctuary of acoustic warmth and chamber-folk elegance.

It feels like a private conversation in a wood-paneled room, where strings swell around Harper's baritone and every creak of the guitar string is audible. It is deeply personal, rooted in the quietude of domestic life and self-reflection, offering a sense of peace that is rare in modern rock.
