The Crosby-Stills-Nash-like three piece don't quite scrape the sky but instead produce a nice little, non-offensive, non-groundbreaking, record. Most of the songs are pretty simple with repeating lyrically phrases sung in interlacing harmonies by the three.
The album isn't over beard by Harper or Arthur and each artist give each other room to breath, there's a lot of space on this record, which maybe one of the reasons why you can play it and let it fade into the background, and you only notice its lack of presence when it's over. Harrison sounds great on this album, and in parts you can really tell he's his father's son, this is completely evident on the track "Father's Son" which also happens to be the best track on the album. With this track you really feel the trio are souring at their peak.
All in all you get the feeling that if Harper, Arthur and Harrison spent a little longer on this album they could have come up with something truly amazing. But the be honest this album is a lot better than Harpers "Relentless 7" or Arthurs "Lonely Astronauts," this album just sounds more like them.
So this album is a positive step for each artist and hopefully will be the start of something great.
Remember CSN's first album? Then they came back with Déjà vu.
Note about the CD: Amazon say it's "temporarily unavailable" why? This is a mayor release by major artists.
Secondly the price £20. shocking?

I purchased this album on the strength of Ben Harpers' inclusion in the group as I possess and enjoy all of his solo albums. Although you can hear his influence on this record, noteably on "Fathers Son" and the lovely instrumental track "30 Bones", there is also a different vibe brought to this acoustic rock set by the two other musicians, Dhani Harrison and Joseph Arthur. The three musicians blend their styles well together. You can sense they have respect for each other as they have allowed each other to participate equally in creating the sound to this album.
Most of the songs are of good quality and some of the tracks remind me of Fleetwood Macs' work, although they do not possess the same groundbreaking qualities and are probably not as exciting. "In Vain Or True", " I Don't Want To Waste Your Time", "Fistful Of Mercy" and "With Whom You Belong" all have a distinctive 70's hippie feel about them. My favorite track is "Restore Me" which is very similar, but is slightly more melodic and catchy. The previously mentioned "30 Bones" is also a highlight. However, the album only has 9 tracks and 3 of them are a bit bland: "As I Call You Down", "Father's Son" and "Things Go 'Round".
Nevertheless, I am happy that I bought this album as it showcases Ben Harpers' versatility as a musician and creates yet again a new direction for him as a musician. "As I Call You Down" deserves 3.5 stars.
