NEW RELEASE: Ben Harper "Better Way"

Ben Harper
"Better Way" (Virgin)
Ben Harper & Laura Dern, directors | Folk Music Center, producer | Innocent Criminal, production co | Todd Cribari, DP/editor | Description: Ben Harper lays out his plans for a "Better Way" with this very casual and off-the-cuff video he co-directed with his wife, actress Laura Dern. Taking place mostly in an exotic music shop — which makes sense, since the track is driven by tablas, tambouras and other Indian instruments — Harper and his band spend much of their time mugging for the camera. Other elements include a slide guitar performance within a circle of burning acoustic guitars and a Pied Piper march on which Harper is joined by people of all ages and backgrounds. -- watch "Better Way" in Real or Windows Media
