Yeah that's the problem. The backing / music is really good though.

As it happens I've just invested in his CD, after playing a few more of his YouTube clips. I can understand French (certainly better than I can speak it) so if there are any songs about soulful washing machines on it I'll get back to you...

...Well, the CD of the album arrived in the middle of last week, and I have to say that there was nothing on it as good as 'Soulman'.

About half of it is in English, and Ben has very little trace of an accent. It's OK in a Terence Trent D'Arbyish sort of way but his voice is not terribly versatile. I did find my attention wandering on quite a few occasions during its 55 minute running time, several songs going by me without my realising that they'd been and gone.

I didn't hate it, but I couldn't honestly recommend it either...no.gif
