GUITAR TWANG EXTRAORDINAIRE
author: D.Harrer
It's something of a "Master Class"...echoes of past masters and styles...from Chet Atkins to Duane Eddy to Hank Marvin & the Shadows to the Ventures to... (fast forward) to Mark Knopfler to... well- Richard Bennett! I can only add to the accolades already listed here.

4 DECADES OF MEMORIES
author: A I Preston
40 yrs plus in the business, Richards "Long List" is certainly that "Long" !!
His immpecble playing style is so easy to listen to, his accomplishments are many, but the accolades fallon the (pardon the word) "Star"
But i have over the past months been searching Video music records and it is no surpise to see that Face on so so many of them, from Petula Clark Via Thelonious Moog to Neil Diamond and on to Mark Knopfler.... Taking in such as Lonnie Donegan on the way, as well as Chet Atkins, how diverse can one man be.
needless to say, i await his next album with bated breath... if it is even half as good as "Themes" it will be brilliant..............
Thanks Richard....for the pleasure !!

the best CD i have listened to in a while

I thoroughly enjoyed this work by Richard. I sensed a fusion of the evocative Hank Marvin stylings with more influences that Richard uniquely brought to the tracks. The tracks have a lovely span and are tastefully arranged. The guitar playing is wonderfully sensitive and with a lot of attention to detail. I also enjoyed the steel guitar breaks greatly, they added a new dimension and combine well with the strat. Lovely tone in all the tracks.
Bravo!
