Ben Harper: Welcome To The Cruel World Vinyl 2LP
āIf you wanted to get through the door of a major record label, you had to pick a lane and stick to it. Having a song like 'Waiting On An Angel' and 'Like A King' on the same album was not going to fly, and we were reminded of this daily as we were turned down by every major label in Hollywood. All except Virgin Records. With one recordās worth of material to my name, with JP able to get us through the front door at Virgin Records, and with Jeff Ayeroff and Jordan Harris (co-chairmen of Virgin at the time) willing to take a risk on an eclectic songwriting lap steel guitar player, Welcome To The CruelĀ WorldĀ was born.ā - Ben Harper
