Andy Bennett

Thinkin’ Drinkin’ Singin’ (Swan Music)

Singer/guitarist Andy Bennett has spent some 12 years working with Ocean Colour Scene. This, his first solo album, gives a musical insight into what Andy Bennett is about. All 10 tracks have been written by Andy; on five of them he played all the instruments too.

Listened to in its entirety Thinkin’ Drinkin’ Singin’ has something of a Beatles-seque leaning, it’s one of those albums that seems to get better and better with each subsequent listen. At the time of this review I Can’t Pretend and Old Pair Of Jeans are favourites, though that is likely to change in the near future. A top class debut solo album with a multitude of quality songs delivered in style.
