GreatAlbums1990s - #BenHarper – #FightForYourMind (1995). Before he joined Xavier Rudd as the blues festival king (the loudest cheers from lawn chairs both times I saw them), Ben Harper came across as the missing link between Bob Marley and Rage Against the Machine. “Oppression” and “Excuse Me Mr.” sound off against the suits, “Burn One Down” lights a spliff for freedom, and “Power of the Gospel” manages to make cellos and violas sound bluesy.
