Ben Craven
Last Chance to Hear
Review by Gary Hill
This is the newest disc from Ben Craven, and it’s great. Most of this is instrumental, but there are a few songs with vocals. Most notably, William Shatner guests on one track. The balance between rocking and mellow is good. I love how this manages to be prog, but also have a lot of groove and a spirit of fun. It comes with a bonus DVD that includes some music videos and a bit on the making of the album. The CD is divided as two sides of a record, making me think it’s meant to be heard on vinyl.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2016 Volume 3 at lulu.com/strangesound.
