Taking a break from writing, recording and touring with the Grammy winning The Raconteurs, Brendan Benson went into the studio in Nashville and London with producer, Gil Norton (Pixies, Maximo Park, Foo Fighters) and mixer Dave Sardy (The Rolling Stones, LCD Soundsystem, Oasis). The result is a brand new 11-track album.
My Old, Familiar Friend is a marriage of passion and perfectionism that highlights much of what makes Benson special. From the seductive glimmer of "Feel Like Taking You Home" to the Motown swoon of "Garbage Day," Benson has shaped his restless-hearted stories into songs that fit together with exquisite neatness. Benson's musical approach is detailed, craftsman-like and fastidious, the sound of a classic singer-songwriter operating at the top of his game.
