Album Review

Written by Ian Tamblyn, O.C.

Award-winning singer-songwriter, record producer, festival programmer and world explorer

“Front and centre in this collection of songs is the voice of Jody Benjamin. There is something so special  about Jody’s singing that is so true and honest.. How can I say it – Jody’s voice is “unaffected”. It is  unaffected by American twang, by contemporary affectations.  It has, to my ear, a rural prairie quality perfect suited to these songs.”
