Week 6: Ben Rector
Maybe I listened to Ben Rector years ago and I’m just hearing the songs for the first time again; but regardless really loving the tunes from this Nashville guy lately. While I was in college I was a huge fan of Dave Barnes (even sold my hard-to-sell best friend on him enough that she chose one of his songs as her and her husband’s first dance music . . . maybe I’ll bring him back out next week) and Ben Rector is super reminiscent of Barnes smooth tones. A little piano here, a little guitar here. If you like a little bit of a sappy love song here and there, put this guy on and cycle through “When a Heart Breaks,” “Loving You is Easy” or “Ready for Change.”
No surprise, one of my most favorites though is an acoustic bit. Check out “Forever Like That.”
