Robert Harper

Produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett, 'We Walk This Road' continues the Sacred Steel tradition for which Robert Randolph has earned wide praise, including the New York Times, which applauds 'his rip-roaring virtuosity and his gift for making his instrument sing without a word.' Throughout the recording of 'We Walk This Road,' Randolph and Burnett worked closely together as archivists, discovering songs-decade by decade-from the 20th century American music canon. The songs they uncovered, ranging from blues and rock to field recordings and gospel, serve as the inspiration for the 11 songs on 'We Walk This Road.' Recorded at the Village Recorders and Electro Magnetic Studio, the album includes 'If I Had My Way' (featuring Ben Harper), 'Salvation' (featuring Leon Russell), and reinterpretations of Prince's 'Walk Don't Walk,' Bob Dylan's 'Shot Of Love,' (featuring Jim Keltner, who played drums on the original version) and John Lennon's 'I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama' (featuring Doyle Bramhall II).

Recorded on his 2000 tour, this double live album from Ben Harper is split into two: a solo acoustic disc and an electric disc with his band the Innocent Criminals, reflecting a sampling of what audiences heard each night in concert. In addition to Harper's originals songs, including the hit single Steal My Kisses, the album contains cover versions of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing", "The Drugs Don't Work" by the The Verve and Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love".
