Synopsis

Album Description

The former frontman from the successful Seattle pop group, Nevada Bachelors, releases his first solo outing exclusively on Roam Records. Songs About Songs is a showcase of Robb Benson's extraoridnary songwriting talent and vocal prowess. The listener also gets the added bonus of hearing Robb's abilities on the piano and the beautifully poetic lyrics of Michelle Price on several tracks. Cello by Phil Peterson and a minimal, but rich production by local knob twiddler and talented musician, Johnny Sangster round out this brilliant work.

CD Reviews

Excellent Debut CD!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the solo effort of the former singer/songwriter of the Nevada Bachelors. Breaking away from his former more pop inspired high energy stylings, this EP takes a much mellower serious tone, while still staying true to his "Quirky" songwriting sensibilities. With a stripped down accoustic sound, 'Songs About Songs' showcases Bensons' wonderful voice. This is an all around great CD, my personal favorite tracks are 'Iluusion Of Beauty' (I can't believe this was recorded Live!), and 'Midwestern Sunrise'. Smart, great mucic, period! Help support a great musician, and check out this great CD!"
