“It was like I was moving forward and venturing into places I had never been before. Taking everything I've learned from every other record and kind of setting fire to it all and starting over," says Ben Harper about his new album Bloodline Maintenance.

The result is a fearless and immensely profound work inspired in large part by the persistent influence of a charismatic father and by the loss of his bassist and friend Juan Nelsona. Harper initially composed much of the album with the bass: "It made me feel closer to him and eventually led to writing songs."
