Diamonds on the Inside

Diamonds On the Inside (2003) is Ben Harper's first work without crediting the Innocent Criminals in almost 10 years, although all the touring members continue to support him on the album. On this album, Harper brought on several new additions to his band, the first being guitarist Nicky Panicci (aka Nicky P) in 2002 who is the first guitar player to be credited on a Ben Harper record. Panicci toured with Harper on the Diamonds on the Inside Tour for almost a year. After leaving Haper's band on his own accord, Marc Ford, formerly of The Black Crowes replaced Panicci and joined Harper's band.
