More than anything, 'Diamonds On The Inside' illustrates Ben Harper's willingness to delve into a broad range of styles. Transgressing rock 'n' roll to take in elements of soul, southern gospel, folk, 70's funk, reggae and electric blues, the album was recorded with his long-time band The Innocent Criminals - bassist Juan Nelson, percussionist Leon Mobley, drummer Oliver Charles - and showcases 14 charismatic, emotional songs which get to Bob Dylan by way of Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Led Zep and the Beatles. Guest artists on the album include keyboard player Greg Kurstin (Geggy Tah, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flaming Lips, Beck) and the famous Ladysmith Black Mambazo ten man choir, who join Ben on the epic 'Picture Of Jesus'. Includes the single 'Diamonds On The Inside'.
