Lifeline is an album by Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals.

It was recorded in Paris in the fall of 2006 after the lengthy European leg of the Both Sides of the Gun tour.

Harper and the Innocent Criminals wrote the tracks while on tour and would rehearse the songs during sound checks while at each venue.

Lifeline debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling about 41,000 copies in its first week.

[4] Thom Jurek at AllMusic described the album as "...a deeply focused, loose, and laid-back record that is musically compelling and deeply soulful, and contains some of Harper's finest songs to date".
