Here is a link to a one minute clip of Ben Harper's new song 'Don't Give Up On Me Now' (you have to scroll down a little to get to the player):

It looks like this song has been released in France as the first single from Give Till It's Gone. I found several French sites with short clips of the new song, but I couldn't find the full version. I will keep looking and post it here if I find it. It sounds great! I can't wait to hear the entire song!

Song Title 1. Rock N' Roll Is Free - Time 4:21

I noticed the version that will be available at Amazon is almost a full minute longer than the version that Ursus was nice enough to post a link to here http://www.benharper.com/#/blogs/rock-n-roll-free-listen-here. Maybe this longer version will have a longer slide guitar solo from Ben! I like the artwork for the single. I can't wait for this album to come out!
