Synopsis

Product Description
The second full-length from Benjy Ferree is a musical eulogy to the forgotten child star, Bobby Driscoll, who portrayed Peter Pan in the 1953 Disney feature, was fired by the studio upon hitting puberty, struggled to find work, fell into a life-long battle with drugs, and died broke and homeless at age 31. Ferree's childhood obsession with Peter Pan led to this album - an ode not just to his childhood hero, but to anyone who's gotten the short end of the stick in life. Drawing as much from the country meandering of Jimmie Rodgers and the passionate blues pounding of Son House as he does from the vocal hysterics of Freddie Mercury and the balladry of Nick Cave, Ferree crafts a unique and gratifying sound.

Unique and Amazing
Eric S. Chapman | Brighton, MI United States | 04/09/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This recording is just amazing. You can tell Ferree is passionate about the content and the results are amazing lyrics and melodies. It's seldom that I experience love at first hear; most bands end up growing on me. This one hasn't left my car cd player since I bought it."
