Personally I think his best "album" is the dvd "Live at the Hollywood Bowl". However, the tune "Drugs Don't Work" probably makes Live From Mars edge out the rest. To me, Ben Harper is like Frank Zappa (I know, weird comparison), in that I have not listened to anything of his that I don't like. He is one of those artists that can play the same song at different times and make them sound entirely different, probably just based upon how he is feeling at the time.
There will be a Light is no exception. I am not a fan of gospel music, but he makes this work perfectly.
