The Alternate Root Magazine reviews Paul Benjaman Band‘s new album Sneaker:

Paul Benjaman decorates with fall color patterns on Sneaker…Paul dips his audio pen in the landscape of Oklahoma on the Horton Records release. The label is based in Tulsa, OK, as is Paul Benjaman, who never forgets the Tulsa Sound of JJ Cale on the album as he gives it a seat next to a 2015 groove.

Tulsa World has an excellent interview with Paul Benjaman Band in advance of this weekend’s local release party. New album Sneaker is out on CD and digital formats on Horton Records on Friday, October 30th.

In some ways, especially in rhythm, that’s a strong line between the music Benjaman makes and the music Tulsa legend JJ Cale made.

Sneaker has that in spades. The 12 songs on the album rock and groove in exciting ways, with Benjaman’s guitar work captivating.
