"Not to be dismissed solely as a cover performer, Bentley adds his own style to each song that turns them into originals."

"Art Bentley; a truly gifted vocalist with the charisma of a long-time friend. He is an original musician who's style will not lie dormant. Even his covers come out sounding like Art Bentley (which is very good)."

The bad thing about the Art Bentley sound? I get lost in a feel-good place I don't want to leave. Next thing I know, it's 3(or 4) LIT's later and I need a ride home! Might've been okay in my younger years but being on downhill slide, I hate to waste any days (as in the day after)! Love the new CD!
