Ben Bullington —White Sulphur Springs (Independent)
www.benbullington.comOh, how I love the relaxed tone of Ben Bullington’s music, and I am not the only one full of admiration for him, either. Since Texas singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell who guests on one cut, ‘Toe The Line’ playing resophonic guitar and lending superb vocal support to a song could just as easily have written and justifiably been proud of doing so!
Warm, vocally, the playing from Fats Kaplin… Continue
