First Listen: Brendan Benson - my old, familiar friend

First impressions: It's a good album. Typical Brendan Benson rock pop. Keyboards featured prominently on most songs. Very radio friendly. Hopefully his exposure with the Raconteurs will give his solo outings a wider fan base. He deserves it. While there's no new ground being forged on this album, it's a safe, summer spin. Enjoyable, but I probably won't come back to it very often. C+ all the songs kind of sound the same...
