ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Harper followed his major label debut for Virgin, 1994's Welcome To The Cruel World, with the accomplished Fight for Your Mind in 1995, a breakout solo effort that took in folk-rock, metallic riffing and social commentary with a Jamaican backbeat. Matching his charged songs like "Oppression" and "Burn One Down" to specific African and Caribbean references Harper thrilled early fans with a rhythmic expertise that enhanced his subject matter. Throughout he makes sure his fans are both educated and entertained and fed a brand of spiritual nourishment that is rarely heard these days.
