Ben Harper Premieres New Song

(Radio.com) Ben Harper premiered a new song via his YouTube channel with very little fanfare, posting it to his Facebook page with no explanation. That's probably because he's letting "Call It What It It (Murder)" speak for itself.

A solo acoustic live performance, it features Harper singing and playing his Weissenborn (a lap slide guitar) on the John Lee Hooker-style blues song, filmed in stark black and white.

Earlier this year, Harper told Radio.com that "I suppose I'm thinking about Bruce Springsteen in every song I write, consciously or subconsciously," and this one certainly has echoes of "American Skin (41 Shots)".
