Steine Street Sessions

Total running time: 37:40 (9 tracks)
Tempo: Various

Mr Bennett is a Canadian singer songwriter whose music will appeal to fans of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, JJ Cale etc. Sharp, no-nonsense songwriting with a sly sense of humour and a Fender Telecaster.

In February 2003, Mr Bennett wanted to record some ideas for new songs. We convened at TBM studios for a week and put down some basic tracks with acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and vocals that we later built on with extra layers and instruments including piano, organ, more percussion and guitars etc.

Songs range from the tongue-in-cheek upbeat intro track I Don’t Wanna Be You to the building Dylan-esque wordplay of Nobody, to the warm melancholy of Bye Bye Blacksheep. All these tracks are available to license for use in your feature film or other visual project (single or multiple songs), so please contact me for details.

The preview clip above contains short excerpts from the 9 tracks or hear full individual track previews below. The full album contains over 35 minutes of music which will be automatically emailed to you as a zip file after purchase.

Sounds a bit like: Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan

Keywords: acoustic guitar, alternative, Canada, Canadian, Cohen, contemplative, drums, Dylan, electric guitar, indie, lyrical, lyrics, Michael Bennett, Mike Bennett, Mr Bennett, piano, reflective, rock, sharp, sly, singer, songs, songwriter, upbeat, vocal, warm, witty, wry
