Dhani Harrison may be best known as George Harrison's only son. But the singer/guitarist was a consultant for more than two years for the "Beatles: Rock Band" video game, and he fronts his own group, thenewno2, which performed Saturday with Wolfmother in Minneapolis. Harrison has been enamored of late with "Knowle West Boy," an album by another Brit, Tricky.
"That's one I haven't stopped playing. It was produced by Bernard Butler, who's the guy from Suede. Kind of a weird pairing. He also did some really commercial records, like the Duffy record, which was a big success. Then he did Tricky, which is kind of bizarre. It's absolutely deep, excellently produced, lots of rich sounds. It jams. It's been played a lot on our bus since we've been on tour."
