HA!! I know really!! Always loved them as well but Get Behind Me certainly has made the love and respect even stronger. SEEING THEM LIVE is what has completely done it for me. It's over now! Went from loving to "obsessing about them" for damn sure!
Desperate to see them! Next chance i get - i'm there..
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist

˙˙THE SAME BOY YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN˙˙
You fell down of course
and then you got up of course
and you started over
forgot my name of course
then you started to remember
pretty tough to think about
the beginning of december
pretty tough to think about
You're looking down again
and then you look me over
we're laying down again
on a blanket in the clover
the same boy you've always known
well I guess I haven't grown
the same boy you've always known
Think of what the past did
it could 've lasted
so put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
who can lend you a hand
lowering my casket
I thought this is just today
and soon you'd been returning
the coldest blue ocean water
cannot stop my heart and mind
from burning
everyone who's in the know says
that's exactly how it goes
and if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows

I roll over in bed
Looking for someone to touch
There's a girl that I know of
But don't ask for much
She's homely, and she's cranky
And her hair's in a net
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
I get my friend when I need one
I need someone to be one
I take anybody I can get
And sometimes I wanna call you
And I feel like a pet
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
I go down to the river
Filled with regret
I go down and I wonder
If there was any reason left
I left just before my lungs could get wet
I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
And I love my sister
Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me
And she knows I won't forget
And sometimes I get jealous
Of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
Yeah I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Their ideas made me want to spit
a hundred dollars goes down the pit
30,000 wheels are rollin'
and my stick shift hands are swollen
everything involved is shady
the big three killed my baby
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Why dont you take the day off and try to repair
a billion others dont seem to care
better ideas are stuck in the mud
the motors runnin' on tuckers blood
dont let them tell you the future's electric
cause gasolines not measured in metric
30,000 wheels are spinnin'
and oil company faces are grinnin'
now my hands are turnin' red
and i found out my baby is dead
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Well i've said it now, nothings changed
people are burnin for pocket change
and creative minds are lazy
and the big three killed my baby
And my baby's my common sense
so dont feed me planned obsolescence
yeah my baby's my common sense
so dont feed my planned obsolescence
im about to have another blowout
im about to have another blowout
i love "the big three killed my baby", that is an awesome song. "stop breaking down" is another one of my favorites.
i am so pissed at myself that i'm missing their show here in Coney Island, it's like 5 minutes away from my house, but i blew all of my concert money on u2 tickets. sounds like the stripes are putting on some cool shows and it's cool to see that the setlist is just not GBMS heavy.
'sometimes i have everything, yet i wish i felt something'
Just saw them in Kansas City. Jackie White is fucking unbelieveable. BLEW ME AWAY!! Half of the time you're rockin' and half of the time you are in complete awe. I haven't looked up your posts and don't know if you've seen them live before, but if not, a White Stripes show is a once in a lifetime experience. Unless of course, you get to see them more than once in your lifetime.
Awww great choice Scott! What a beauty. The man pours it out full force on that one.
YES! Another great pick PearlStripes.
Right on Cornflakegrl98. Showing some love!! And I definietly agree with you, it's awesome how much they mix up that set. Ahh this band just mixes it up non-stop. Loooove it!
Half of the time you're rockin' and half of the time you are in complete awe.
Oh AMEN!! That is the damn truth!!! It's insane how talented this person is. It really does leave you completely stuck. Awww, and I LOVE how he calls himself "Jackie". hehe. So fuckin cute. And this accent is too damn much!!
Cornflakegrl98 ~ she's right...it's not too late. You should try!!! Find a way!! hehe. I have always wanted to see them live but let the years pass by...finally seeing them this year did indeed blow me the hell away! It made me regret not seeing them sooner and not getting more tickets this time around. LOL! They really are sooooooooo amazing. It's all taken to out of this world levels live. To be in the presence of all this greatness?!! To witness first hand all this magic?! To feel these unimaginable sounds running through your veins?! Wow! Again, you should reeeeally try to find a way.
BUMP it up with what has become one of my favs. I always really dug the song, but after seeing it live I am offically in love. This one shreds your ass off something fierce. Jack is sooooo into this shit!!! And when he hits the "Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah"!? EH! That break down is sooooo fuckin incredible!
Also, this line succeeds in making some people melt.....
"Well maybe I'll put my love on ice"
Jesus Jackie!
*bows down to the shredding masterpiece that is.........
-+x[BLACK MATH]x+-
Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, my fingers are definitely turning to black now
Yeah, well maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
Yeah
My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now
Maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah
Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
Listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain
that you're teaching A lesson?
I can't tell you how proud I am
I'm writing down things that I don't understand
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
Yeah,yeah,yeah

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the fingers
Cause I'll tell everyone in the world
But he was thinking about the girl
Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"
Just because she makes you feel wrong
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
'bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the dark is one kitten?
She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
this is one of my favorites off of Get Behind Me Satan
I think that Get Behind Me Satan will be my album of the year

- Well said VedHead27
I think we're witnessing live, one of the all time greats in the history of rock (although he's a composition of various styles). And that's in very select company. The man is going to do some amazing things down the road in addition to the accomplishments he's already achieved. Jackie White is an artist. And they don't come around very often. Especially in this corporate environment. He's well respected, but doesn't get near the recognition he deserves. In due time however, anyone that missed an opportunity to see him live, upfront in a small venue for an inexpensive price during his White Stripes days, before he truly branches out, will be kicking themselves. He's going to be so busy with all of his projects, that seeing him and Meg on stage with all these great songs will become a less fequent opportunity I'm thinking. By the way, does anyone know the release date for Jack's new release with the other musician (forgot name - Brandon Something??) from Detroit? Supposed to be this winter. This other musician was comparing the already completed album to Nevermind. Now that's a lofty verbal venture..
One of my favs -
Hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you
come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and I will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles too
come and sit with me and talk a while
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and I will sort them out for you
I'll fall in love with you
I think I'll marry you
What is the project called? I know it has the rhythm section from the Greenhorns, Brenden Benson and Jack White. But what is their name? Not to mention when will this come out?! Fuck I'm so excited. But dare I say does this mean the end for the White Stripes? I hope not.
"when the power of love overcomes the love of power,the world will be at peace"-Jimi Hendrix
EJ: There has been a lot of rumor and speculation in the press about you making this album with Jack White or possibly even joining The White Stripes. How did you hook up with Jack White?
Brendan: I just met him thru friends when I moved back home to Detroit, and I when heard The White Stripes play I was like, "Man, this guy is incredible". We got together a few times and became friends. It started that I'd record his songs, his and White Stripes songs he was writing. Then it got to be I'd do a show and play his songs and he'd play mine, and then we did a show where we played each other's songs. I was really thrilled because I heard a couple of things that I had played with on the finished White Blood Cells. Mind you, it wasn’t an official collaboration, just friends hanging out having a good time.
He also said there was no truth to joining the White Stripes. I haven't heard a release date for the album, the name of the album or the name of the band or project. Looking forward to it though! I can't get enough of 'ol Jackie White.
BRENDAN BENSON and JACK WHITE have named the side project they’ve been working on together.
As revealed by NME.COM the pair have made Detroit’s “answer to ‘Nevermind’” and are now calling Raconteurs.
“We’ll probably be coming out with a new record next year,” White told Billboard. “We’re almost done with it. It’s something totally new for me – two songwriters working together. Dual vocals, dual lead guitars, dual songwriting duties.”
White added that it wasn’t just him and Benson creating the record, they now had a full band featuring Jack Lawrence on bass and Patrick Keller drummer (Greenhornes).
“It’s a brand new band,” declared White. “It’s not just me and Brendan. Patrick and Jack are very talented musicians. The songs are giant. They’re really large.”
No release date has been set for the Raconteurs’ album, however nothing is expected until White finishes promotional duties for the new White Stripes album ‘Get Behind Me Satan’.
(and)
JACK WHITE has been recording BRENDAN BENSON’s latest album in DETROIT.
White admitted this week that he wanted to make the new White Stripes record at Benson’s house.
However, it has now also been revealed that Benson’s third LP ’Alternative To Love’ is being recorded with the guitarist, following in the footsteps of Loretta Lynn’s last album ’Van Lear Rose’ - produced by White.
Benson said: "Jack's doing his own record, and I don't know too much about that. But Jack and I started making a record together. We've got 11 or 12 songs recorded, but not completely finished. We still need to sing vocals on some of the songs."
Currently supporting Keane on their UK tour, Benson is also using his house as the studio to record the album. The pair started work in August, with the record expected to hit the shops in March.
He said: "He lives two or three blocks away from me, and we've been friends for a really long time. So this just seemed like a good excuse to see what would happen when we worked together. It seems to be working out."
Describing the sound of the album, Benson told MTV News: "It's weird, man. There's stuff on there that sounds like Cat Stevens, and there's some stuff on there that sounds like Led Zeppelin. I can say some of the stuff sounds like pure Jack White. You can hear it and say, 'Oh, that's a Jack White song.' I don't know if people are going to think it's crap or brilliant. I have no idea."
Recorded with The Greenhornes’ bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler - who appeared on Lynn’s album too – ’Alternative To Love’ will have the finishing touches added when Benson returns to the US next week.
All four musicians are prepared to head out on the road in support of the album.
Benson added: "It's really great, man. People have got to hear it. Jack and I both sing. And it's kind of like a Lennon/McCartney thing, if I may be so bold. And I'm not comparing the musicianship, just the fact that we're each kind of bringing in our own songs. And we both have different sounds and aesthetics, which adds a whole other aspect to it."

Benson Readies 'Love,' Records With White
By Troy Carpenter, N.Y.
Detroit-based pop/rocker Brendan Benson is gearing up for a big 2005. His new solo album, "The Alternative to Love," is set to be released in March via V2 Records, and amidst an anticipated heavy slate of touring, Benson hopes to release a duo record he's been working on with Jack White of the White Stripes.
"The Alternative to Love" is the follow-up to 2002's critically acclaimed "Lapalco" (Startime International), and was recorded entirely at Benson's home studio in Detroit's Belle Isle neighborhood. Rocking album opener "Spit It Out," bittersweet breakup song "Between Us" and the convoluted but catchy title track highlight the set.
Benson plays all instruments, but he had help in the "Alternative" sessions from drummer Matt Elgin and harmonica player/backing vocalist Chris Plum, among others. Benson tells Billboard.com that working in his home studio affords him the opportunity to continually tweak songs-in-progress as fancy strikes.
"I also like to paint, and in painting it's very obvious to me when to stop," he explains. "But in music I don't know when to stop. I can't resist that compulsion. In the end it might be the kitchen sink in that song, but I think it's still going to have life just because I had so much fun doing it."
Neighbor White is another collaborator who's been spending a lot of time at Benson's house lately. Benson says the pair is putting finishing touches on a collaborative album recorded with Greenhornes bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler that will hopefully see release sometime next year.
"It's kind of a little of everything," he says of the album. "I've got songs that I've pretty much written and he added lyrics to it. And he brought some songs, or actually made a bunch of 'em up on the spot. It's cool, different stuff. Some of it sounds like Jack and some of it just sounds like Cat Stevens or something."
two great songwriters together. Hopefully a great album
Jack is a genius of 00's
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing

I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
And I love my sister
Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me
And she knows I won't forget
And sometimes I get jealous
Of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
Yeah I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Their ideas made me want to spit
a hundred dollars goes down the pit
30,000 wheels are rollin'
and my stick shift hands are swollen
everything involved is shady
the big three killed my baby
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Why dont you take the day off and try to repair
a billion others dont seem to care
better ideas are stuck in the mud
the motors runnin' on tuckers blood
dont let them tell you the future's electric
cause gasolines not measured in metric
30,000 wheels are spinnin'
and oil company faces are grinnin'
now my hands are turnin' red
and i found out my baby is dead
The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again
Well i've said it now, nothings changed
people are burnin for pocket change
and creative minds are lazy
and the big three killed my baby
And my baby's my common sense
so dont feed me planned obsolescence
yeah my baby's my common sense
so dont feed my planned obsolescence
im about to have another blowout
im about to have another blowout

Just saw them in Kansas City. Jackie White is fucking unbelieveable. BLEW ME AWAY!! Half of the time you're rockin' and half of the time you are in complete awe. I haven't looked up your posts and don't know if you've seen them live before, but if not, a White Stripes show is a once in a lifetime experience. Unless of course, you get to see them more than once in your lifetime.
YES! Another great pick PearlStripes.
Right on Cornflakegrl98. Showing some love!!
Oh AMEN!! That is the damn truth!!! It's insane how talented this person is. It really does leave you completely stuck. Awww, and I LOVE how he calls himself "Jackie".
Cornflakegrl98 ~ she's right...it's not too late. You should try!!! Find a way!! hehe.
BUMP it up with what has become one of my favs. I always really dug the song, but after seeing it live I am offically in love. This one shreds your ass off something fierce. Jack is sooooo into this shit!!! And when he hits the "Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah"!? EH! That break down is sooooo fuckin incredible!
Also, this line succeeds in making some people melt.....
"Well maybe I'll put my love on ice"
Jesus Jackie!
*bows down to the shredding masterpiece that is.........
-+x[BLACK MATH]x+-
Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, my fingers are definitely turning to black now
Yeah, well maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
Yeah
My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now
Maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah
Ah,ah,ah,ah,ah
Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
Listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain
that you're teaching A lesson?
I can't tell you how proud I am
I'm writing down things that I don't understand
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
Yeah,yeah,yeah

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the fingers
Cause I'll tell everyone in the world
But he was thinking about the girl
Ya, but he's thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing "boy, I think I had enough"
Just because she makes you feel wrong
She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she's rockin' it
And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's getting in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it
And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it
The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it
And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
'bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the dark is one kitten?
She's been singing it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Ya you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song
this is one of my favorites off of Get Behind Me Satan
I think that Get Behind Me Satan will be my album of the year
I love this song!!
Today i bought Under Blackpool Lights on DVD, can't wait to watch it ....ah dvd's u can hear AND see
That is my fave bit of that song
it's a very awesome DVD
- Well said VedHead27
I think we're witnessing live, one of the all time greats in the history of rock (although he's a composition of various styles). And that's in very select company. The man is going to do some amazing things down the road in addition to the accomplishments he's already achieved. Jackie White is an artist. And they don't come around very often. Especially in this corporate environment. He's well respected, but doesn't get near the recognition he deserves. In due time however, anyone that missed an opportunity to see him live, upfront in a small venue for an inexpensive price during his White Stripes days, before he truly branches out, will be kicking themselves. He's going to be so busy with all of his projects, that seeing him and Meg on stage with all these great songs will become a less fequent opportunity I'm thinking. By the way, does anyone know the release date for Jack's new release with the other musician (forgot name - Brandon Something??) from Detroit? Supposed to be this winter. This other musician was comparing the already completed album to Nevermind. Now that's a lofty verbal venture..
One of my favs -
Hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you
come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and I will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles too
come and sit with me and talk a while
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and I will sort them out for you
I'll fall in love with you
I think I'll marry you
Brendan: I just met him thru friends when I moved back home to Detroit, and I when heard The White Stripes play I was like, "Man, this guy is incredible". We got together a few times and became friends. It started that I'd record his songs, his and White Stripes songs he was writing. Then it got to be I'd do a show and play his songs and he'd play mine, and then we did a show where we played each other's songs. I was really thrilled because I heard a couple of things that I had played with on the finished White Blood Cells. Mind you, it wasn’t an official collaboration, just friends hanging out having a good time.
He also said there was no truth to joining the White Stripes. I haven't heard a release date for the album, the name of the album or the name of the band or project. Looking forward to it though! I can't get enough of 'ol Jackie White.

JACK WHITE AND BRENDAN BENSON NAME SIDE PROJECT
BRENDAN BENSON and JACK WHITE have named the side project they’ve been working on together.
As revealed by NME.COM the pair have made Detroit’s “answer to ‘Nevermind’” and are now calling Raconteurs.
“We’ll probably be coming out with a new record next year,” White told Billboard. “We’re almost done with it. It’s something totally new for me – two songwriters working together. Dual vocals, dual lead guitars, dual songwriting duties.”
White added that it wasn’t just him and Benson creating the record, they now had a full band featuring Jack Lawrence on bass and Patrick Keller drummer (Greenhornes).
“It’s a brand new band,” declared White. “It’s not just me and Brendan. Patrick and Jack are very talented musicians. The songs are giant. They’re really large.”
No release date has been set for the Raconteurs’ album, however nothing is expected until White finishes promotional duties for the new White Stripes album ‘Get Behind Me Satan’.

JACK WHITE has been recording BRENDAN BENSON’s latest album in DETROIT.
White admitted this week that he wanted to make the new White Stripes record at Benson’s house.
However, it has now also been revealed that Benson’s third LP ’Alternative To Love’ is being recorded with the guitarist, following in the footsteps of Loretta Lynn’s last album ’Van Lear Rose’ - produced by White.
Benson said: "Jack's doing his own record, and I don't know too much about that. But Jack and I started making a record together. We've got 11 or 12 songs recorded, but not completely finished. We still need to sing vocals on some of the songs."
Currently supporting Keane on their UK tour, Benson is also using his house as the studio to record the album. The pair started work in August, with the record expected to hit the shops in March.
He said: "He lives two or three blocks away from me, and we've been friends for a really long time. So this just seemed like a good excuse to see what would happen when we worked together. It seems to be working out."
Describing the sound of the album, Benson told MTV News: "It's weird, man. There's stuff on there that sounds like Cat Stevens, and there's some stuff on there that sounds like Led Zeppelin. I can say some of the stuff sounds like pure Jack White. You can hear it and say, 'Oh, that's a Jack White song.' I don't know if people are going to think it's crap or brilliant. I have no idea."
Recorded with The Greenhornes’ bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler - who appeared on Lynn’s album too – ’Alternative To Love’ will have the finishing touches added when Benson returns to the US next week.
All four musicians are prepared to head out on the road in support of the album.
Benson added: "It's really great, man. People have got to hear it. Jack and I both sing. And it's kind of like a Lennon/McCartney thing, if I may be so bold. And I'm not comparing the musicianship, just the fact that we're each kind of bringing in our own songs. And we both have different sounds and aesthetics, which adds a whole other aspect to it."

Benson Readies 'Love,' Records With White
By Troy Carpenter, N.Y.
Detroit-based pop/rocker Brendan Benson is gearing up for a big 2005. His new solo album, "The Alternative to Love," is set to be released in March via V2 Records, and amidst an anticipated heavy slate of touring, Benson hopes to release a duo record he's been working on with Jack White of the White Stripes.
"The Alternative to Love" is the follow-up to 2002's critically acclaimed "Lapalco" (Startime International), and was recorded entirely at Benson's home studio in Detroit's Belle Isle neighborhood. Rocking album opener "Spit It Out," bittersweet breakup song "Between Us" and the convoluted but catchy title track highlight the set.
Benson plays all instruments, but he had help in the "Alternative" sessions from drummer Matt Elgin and harmonica player/backing vocalist Chris Plum, among others. Benson tells Billboard.com that working in his home studio affords him the opportunity to continually tweak songs-in-progress as fancy strikes.
"I also like to paint, and in painting it's very obvious to me when to stop," he explains. "But in music I don't know when to stop. I can't resist that compulsion. In the end it might be the kitchen sink in that song, but I think it's still going to have life just because I had so much fun doing it."
Neighbor White is another collaborator who's been spending a lot of time at Benson's house lately. Benson says the pair is putting finishing touches on a collaborative album recorded with Greenhornes bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler that will hopefully see release sometime next year.
"It's kind of a little of everything," he says of the album. "I've got songs that I've pretty much written and he added lyrics to it. And he brought some songs, or actually made a bunch of 'em up on the spot. It's cool, different stuff. Some of it sounds like Jack and some of it just sounds like Cat Stevens or something."
two great songwriters together. Hopefully a great album
Jack is a genius of 00's
That is why I'm singing
But,.........
