Product Description

Ben Harper's "Diamonds On The Inside," released on January 1, 2003, under Virgin Records, is a captivating journey through the vibrant and dynamic world of surf rock. This album, spanning a total of 61 minutes, is a testament to Harper's musical versatility and his ability to blend various influences into a cohesive and engaging sound.

From the opening track "With My Own Two Hands" to the closing notes of "She's Only Happy In The Sun," Harper takes you on a ride filled with infectious rhythms, soulful melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics. The album's title track, "Diamonds On The Inside," showcases Harper's signature slide guitar work, while tracks like "Bring The Funk" and "Brown Eyed Blues" highlight his knack for creating catchy, groove-heavy tunes.

"Diamonds On The Inside" is not just about high-energy surf rock anthems.

Throughout the album, Harper's distinctive voice and masterful guitar playing take center stage, backed by a tight and talented band. The result is a collection of songs that are as musically rich as they are emotionally resonant. Whether you're a longtime fan of Ben Harper or a newcomer to his music, "Diamonds On The Inside" is an album that deserves your attention and will likely leave a lasting impression.

This is a 2015 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

Ben Harper's Stunning Vinyl Masterpiece
4 out of 5 stars
jugoxqpeaz5517 April 2025United States🇺🇸
This is a stunning vinyl release with fantastic music. The record itself is flawless, with a perfectly flat surface, substantial thickness, and labels that are perfectly aligned. The spindle hole is just the right size. In terms of audio quality, the record delivers a rich, dynamic sound that's been mixed to be loud but not overly compressed. Ben's vocals are prominent, yet they blend harmoniously with the instruments. The orchestrations are reminiscent of Phil Spector's work (back when he was just a genius, not a notorious criminal), and overall, this is an absolutely superb album. If you're a fan of Ben Harper, you'll love it.
