Info

My Old, Familiar Friend is Brendan Benson's first album since becoming Jack White's lieutenant in the Raconteurs, but the group's raucous classicist guitar rock isn't readily apparent on this, Benson's fourth collection of precisely practiced pop.

His fourth solo album finds the singer-songwriter, as ever, exploring what effervescent opener A Whole Lot Better describes as the in and out of love conundrum. Thus, mistrust meets orchestrated strings, and betrayal is bathed in spiky guitar sounds and Isley Brothers solos. Brendan Benson - My Old Familiar Friend Album Lyrics. A Whole Lot Better Lyrics. Judging by My Old, Familiar Friend, that situation is unlikely to alter significantly: like those cult favourites par excellence Big Star, he deals in a form of crossover pop-rock whose pop elements are not quite catchy enough to satisfy pop fans, and whose rock elements are nowhere near bruising enough for hardcore rock fans.
