If you’re like me then you’ve been watching Benjamin Dakota Rogers over the last few years slowly simmer his way to a full on boil – through occasional singles being released & a hefty dose of video content… The anticipation continually growing and the desire to hear the entire project/album come to full fruition was building with excitement. My hopes that it would hold up to the expectations I had created on my own level… Well, it did. And then some! Paint Horse plows through 13 tracks(12 originals) of deep emotional folk songs in traditional form. The album consists of just 3 players from start to finish and an intensity from BDR’s voice that has an allure of its own.

“With Paint Horse, you can imagine yourself situated before the trio in Roger’s barn, hearing the songs come to life. This is music by someone who knows where he’s singing from and what it means to be. You can feel it on every track”
