Benjy Ferree

Label: Domino
Genre: Folk, Pop

An interesting tidbit about Mr. Ferree to start things off, he's Domino's first American worldwide signing. Meaning, I guess, that Domino's British mothership is finally warming to the American music scene. And Benjy Ferree's got a solid, old fashioned, back porch, red, white and blue sound running through his songs. I can almost hear someone blowing into a moonshine jug in "Why Bother," and a washboard player would fit in just as well. "Private Honeymoon" waltzes along nicely with the sounds of the West Coast's neu-folk folks. Ah, it's probably the playful, beatles-esque romp "In The Countryside" that's got the label giving Benjy the green light for worldwide domino-ation. His tour of the Midwest and East Coast starts tomorrow with the Archie Bronson Outfit.
