Grew up on James Cotton and Albert King. Rocked with Neil Young. Joined the travelling circus of major label pop and met the rest of the world. Recoiled to a London flat overrun with recording gear, returning to Canada a champion, as Son Of Dave with 01. And the critics agree, this is the story of a rise to glory. Benjamin Darvill plays all your favourite instruments, but glitters and shines when he holds a harmonica.
A breather from the Crash Test Dummies saw Benjamin pick up the blues where he left them, dust them off, and sew on some new decals he picked up during his travels.
Son Of Dave is the result of several years in London working with producer Stephen Patman (Chapter House), and the album reveals "in a lo-fi way, his interests in heady techno grooves, butt-kickin' blues riffs and lots of harmonica solos." |
