    My top 5 favorite singer songwriters.
    #1 Benjamin Tod
    #2 Townes Van Zandt
    #3 Blaze Foley
    #4 John Prine
    #5 Guy Clark
    There's a reason Tod is number one. Always love another BT reaction Burt! Check out "Beautiful Curse" that will give you an idea on exactly how superior this man's songwriting is, and he sings it in Towne's house which is so fitting. Keep em coming brother.

    I stumbled back into 'Americana' by accident after getting laid off last year because I needed to know other people feel like I have this last year. I still love my metal but I've been stuck in MurderFolk and Bluegrass and Americana. Benjamin Tod has kept me going some days. Have you checked out, Bringing Home the Rain by The Builders and Butchers? Because if that song and Nose on the Grindstone I've taken a 14 point lead in our Music League with 2 weeks left in season 1

    Love Ben- he’s helped me through some hard times. You should check out Matt Heckler- he’s friends with Ben and just put out a new album. He’s killer. Lantern song off his first album and St. Tomas off the new album are my recommendations. Also I found a new band recently that I really like and they’re from down your way- they’re called The Royal Horses. Definitely check them out. They’ve got a real neat sound.

    Man Benjamin Todd is fanominal there is no doubt about it, but you have to check out Hill Country Devil. Two very similar artists that are actually good friends. Hill Country Devil just can't get traction for some reason. I know his addiction is a ongoing battle but he has been straight for a wile now. His songs "Glory", "Rats Get Fat" or "Somewhere Safe and Always Quiet" are straight up amazing. I have never had to deal with the things that he sings about but he can draw you in and make you feel every ounce of pain. Please give him a try. Cheers and keep up the great work!!!

    Gotta love BT reactions. Do yourself a huge favor and check out Nicholas Ridout and Benjamin Flippo. This is the “Nick” that Benjamin refers to and Flippo is BT last name that he used to post videos as. There’s some great music with them together before Nicks suicide and gives some great context to who BT has become.

      @@SongwriterReacts look on the GemsVHs channel. BT and his wife Ashley began Lost Dog with Nick and Shannon Ridout. She’s got videos on Gems as well. But the 4 of them traveled the country hopping trains and living the hobo life. The hobo tattoo (11030) on BT neck is part of that lore. It’s all really cool history that gives context.
