Rock troubadour Brendan Benson is letting fans into the inner workings of his creative process with four weekly webisodes on Spinner, in which he talks about his fourth album, 'My Old, Familiar Friend.' In his third video, Benson talks about being on the road, and how he still gets nervous, even with a 13-year career under his belt:

"In the past I've been anxious about performing live. I've had actual panic attacks and thought 'I can't go out there,' and then the second I step on stage it all just goes away and I'm fine -- in fact I'm better than ever."

I love Brendan's music, even more than I like the Raconteurs. I hope he plays in Austin soon... how do you have a successful tour without visiting the Live Music Capital of the World??
