OUR NEW CD Life is Good! IS HERE!

Chris Rietz says in the Lansing State Journal: "Life" is strewn with treats: the irresistible pop catchiness of "Flippy & Max" with its transcendent guitar break, a richness of harmony vocals from guests Annie Capps and Jen Sygit, even the cover drawing, from local poster-art icon Dennis Preston . . . a well-constructed batch of songs that are pointedly not driven by rage, heartbreak, alienation, existential angst, etc., etc. - well, it can be downright refreshing. Hey - life is good!
Read the full review here.

Nine of the ten songs are written by Ben & Pat, the other is an African-influenced cover of Put a Little Love in Your Heart. The CD was recorded at Ben's home studio, then it was mixed and mastered by the awesome Ian Gorman at his studio in Kalamazoo, MI. (A special thanks to Stan Budzynski for his technical help!) Dennis Preston did the CD artwork and Jane Rosemont was our photographer. We have the pleasure of featuring the songbirds Annie Capps and Jen Sygit on background vocals and rhythm-master extraordinaire Tim Thelen on drums and percussion. To listen to some of the clips from Life is Good!, go to our MySpace or Digstation site.
