FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Benjy Ferree's "Come Back to the Five and Dime Bobby Dee, Bobby Dee"
I'd be the first to admit that I'm a pop guy, not so much a rock guy. I do love Heart, and a lot of Bowie, and some Hole plus a smattering of other stuff, none of which could remotely be identified as "hard rock". So it is, I suspect, with Benjy Ferree--but I gotta say, I am really liking this album. Think Chris Isaak meets the Futureheads by way of Stray Cats. It's kind of punky, rockabilly with occasional shades of anthemic Queen-style choruses. My ears haven't parsed through much of the lyrics yet (this is first impressions, after all) but I REALLY LIKE IT. Check it out:
