Details:
Aaron Benson’s latest offering, “Overjoyed - The Soul-o Guitar Sessions” is a sublime collection of wisely chosen Soul/Latin/Classic and original songs from artists such as; Stevie Wonder, Randy Crawford, Donny Hathaway, Luiz Bonfa, Elvis, Roberta Flack, Antonio Carlos Jobim, among others, and interspersed with several original tunes arranged for solo guitar. Several songs from this set (released here as bonus tracks) were issued as a very limited edition disc with strings added on the highly lauded “After the Rush” set… After being inundated with requests for more of the same, “Overjoyed - The Soul-o Guitar Sessions” is destined to become another lasting gem in the Benson catalogue.
The challenge of ‘Solo’ guitar is to make the songs shine with no additional musicians, studio trickery or backings to mask mistakes. The beauty of it all, if successful, is that one guitar, played by one person, reveals a ‘soul’-fullness and honesty of musical integrity and ability virtually unmatched by other means.
It’s a real testimony to Aaron’s flexibility as a musician/songwriter that he can give his wonderfully deft touch to these superb songs that are as enticing to discerning ears as they are enjoyable to the everyday listener!
