Brendan Benson had been for me an unknown quantity, although "You Were Right" is already his fifth solo disc. I came across by chance on this new release. During the first hearing already opens the musical universe of American Songwriters, the classic Sixties tunes with indie pop in the style of mixes such as Weezer. So arrives at a total of 15 songs will not be bored, because it happens sometimes rocking, sometimes poppy, sometimes balla ended. Benson has a flair for catchy pop songs and therefore deserves more attention than it previously was granted. These pop songs as ingredients times earthy Country tones, sometimes bluesy strikes, but always melodious and invite you to Mits (w) Willingen. The bonds in the pop-over fathers Beatles are often seen, especially in "Ace Of Tonight", "Swallow You Whole", "Oh My Love" or "Purely Automatic". Something modern it comes to in "It's Your Choice" or "Rejuvenate Me". That is all not very innovative, but really good. Brendan Benson's songs have earned in any case more listeners!
