Ben Harper & Tom Freund: "Pleasure & Pain". 1992 Ltd. Edition Cardas Records CR 5818 Audiophile Analogue Stereo LP (mastered by Doug Sax). Record (thick vinyl) is in like new condition. Laminated Cover is near mint.

This acoustic album is impregnated with the Blues. A Blues transported from the Mississippi Delta to the Inland Empire. A Blues re-rendered through the sound of a lap steel guitar influenced by Chris Darrow and David Lindley — both slide guitarists and natives of Claremont. Influence of Chris Darrow appears in the very first song : Whipping Boy, a song he wrote in 1972. Second song is a traditional Blues entitled Jesus on The Main line. Then, Ben Harper and Tom Freund play covers of Pay The Man (co-written by David Lindley and George 'Baboo' Pierre) and Quarter Of A Man (a sublime song written by Robert 'Frizz' Fuller. These two songs were already gathered in David Lindley's album called El Rayo-X (released 1980). Mama's Got A Girlfriend Now (written by Ben Harper), and Angel From Montgomery (written by John Prine) bring a country music touch to the album. Then album turns into Rock 'n Roll sound with two songs by Tom Freund : Click Yo' Heels and an incredible You Should Have Come To Me. King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, couldn't be left out : ardent covers of Dust My Broom and Sweet Home Chicago precede an already very accomplished version of Pleasure And Pain (a Ben Harper's original).
