Ben Harper has teamed with renowned harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite to create Get Up!, a piercing song-cycle of struggle and heart. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Harper, Get Up!, is his 12th studio album and first new recording since 2011's Give Till It's Gone.　　A striking mix of blues, gospel, roots and R&B, Get Up! features ten vivid musical character studies, skillfully rendered in cinematic detail. Charlie Musselwhite's searing point/counter-point harmonica accentuates Harper's vocals throughout the album tieing the songs together into a cohesive musical whole. The band, including Jason Mozersky on guitar, Jesse Ingalls on bass and Jordan Richardson on drums plays with economical grit, lending the songs true understanding and authority.
