Print |  Email More
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 fourth video, Benson talks about the construction of his songs and how he doesn't always have a clear goal, but usually ends up with something that makes sense:

"Some songs are really concise and conveyed a real, actual feeling or idea, and then there are other songs that just ... sound cool. That's the cool thing about music -- you can leave it kind of vague."
