Attack of the Bens Part II

When searching for new artists, I keep coming across artists with the first name of Ben. I've already encountered Folds, Lee, Kweller, Harper, Arthur, Davis and Gibbard (click here for Attack of the Bens part 1).

Now, I have even more Bens to add to that ever-growing list.

Ben Taylor
Ben Taylor is the son of music giants James Taylor and Carly Simon. He orignally was part of the Ben Taylor Band, but later realized he would rather perform as a solo artist. The talent apparently runs in the family. Taylor's subtle, soft voice and light acoustic rock makes him a natural performer.

Ben Taylor
No, you're not seeing double. There are two musicians out there who answer to the name Ben Taylor. This one comes from the other side of the world. Australia to be exact. Taylor combines soulful rock with hard-hitting power pop beats.

Ben Weaver
This country-rooted singer/songwriter is dark and emotional. His musical performances are reminiscent of Johnny Cash and Tom Waits when he gets into his bluesy moments with a raw and haunting voice. And the words he chooses to express his inner turmoil is nothing less than amazing.
