Synopsis

Album Description

"Leaving The Nest" has a surefooted timelessness in an era of trends being cycled and recycled through at an exhausting speed. Musical and historical ghosts of The South haunt the corners of this album like a Faulknerian travelogue while bringing to mind the works of Terrence Malick, cwhose movies leave it to the viewer to find meaning in all the ambiguous beauty. "...a charming piece of backporch Americana that brought to mind the likes of Iron & Wine, Beachwood Sparks, and even a bit of Bright Eyes" - Washington Post.

CD Reviews

Music for the masses

recklessmartin | Durham NC | 09/23/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this record, its been in regular rotation for 6 months. The melodies are so catchy, and the harmonies and production are great as well. The sound is mostly acoustic, and the subject matter is pretty wholesome, so it is pleasant and appropriate listening in varied company (like grandparents and little kids). Above all the music just makes you feel good - especially songs like "They Were Here" and "In the Countryside" - it's fun and playful, yet smart. I also really like the Benjy's sense of humor, look him up on Youtube and see what I mean..."

He's Got The Hook

Jerry L. Withrow | Elizabethtown, North Carolina United States | 12/18/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Simply an outstanding debut! It is so encouraging to hear young songwriters like Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom and now Benjy Ferree - each with their own melodic key to the kingdom. Ferree's music comes at you from so many directions - T-Rex rock on Dogkillers! to chamber pop lullaby on In The Woods - each song a self-contained, hook-laden wonder. This is craftsmanship folks - raw but unerringly right. I can hardly wait to hear where he goes next. Thanks to Joey Burns of Calexico for recommending him. I happily second that."
