Says Ben Harper: "My life
is different movements; it's
different rhythms in my
heart and in my mind. I
could keep making records
like [1994's] Welcome to the
Cruel World, but I would
never want to, because
that's the challenge of mak-
ing the records I make." His
latest release, The Will to
Live, has a more electric,
harder-edged sound, though
still keeping to the root of
his acoustic Weissenborn
guitar. See Ben Harper
with his band, the Innocent
Criminals, 9 p.m. Monday,
July 7. $16.50. Clutch Car-
go's, 65 E. Huron, Pontiac.
