The Will to Live is a 1997 album by Ben Harper which showed his continuing folk-centric focus, while at the same time expanding on his rock talents. This was his third album, his second with the Innocent Criminals (uncredited), and was packaged with a special bonus CD in certain countries.
The record would yield his first UK Singles Chart single, "Faded". To date it remains his only UK single entry.[1]
