For those that know of him, many see Brendan Benson as the Paul to Jack White's John in the Raconteurs. The dual frontman "super group", as they don't care to be called, features the pop sensibilities of Detroit peer, Brendan Benson.Benson has had his own music career for quite a while. His first record in 1999, titled One Mississippi, was enjoyable but a commercial flop. Given another chance, 2002's Lapalco sold three times as many records. That was enough to earn Brendan Benson a seat at the producer's table, crafting 2005's Alternative To Love.In this episode, we see that Brendan has what it takes to write near perfect songs. But he doesn't quite stick the landing, track after track. It can be a frustration. Yet there's something to be said about those particular moments, as we examine what it may be like to be in Brendan's position in the early 2000s.

Down On High: Examining the Records That Made Us

Brendan Benson - Lapalco/Alternative to Love

Brendan Benson is an accomplished solo artist who also happens to co-lead a popular band, the Raconteurs. He'd released three albums of tuneful, smart rock when he played an unfinished song for his Detroit friend Jack White. The White Stripes frontman completed it, they recorded it with another band’s rhythm section, and a supergroup was born, along with its first hit, “Steady, As She Goes.” Now Benson lives in Nashville, where he recorded his excellent eighth solo album, Low Key, and he also collaborates with other musicians, some country, some not (including Robyn Hitchcock). How do those co-writing gigs work? Why can they be embarrassing? Has Nashville rubbed off on his songwriting? Does he consider his work to be autobiographical? Will he ever tour again on his own or with the Raconteurs? Benson is as insightful in conversation as he is in song. (Photo by Guillaume Lechat.)
