| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Not your father's rock and roll...or is it?, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Let the Good Times Roll (MP3 Download) Despite the fact that I actually get a bit of a James Morrison (whom I LOVE) vibe from Ben Rector's track, `Let the Good Times Roll', I can't help but feel that this is a missed mark for the singer. I mean, he has the vocal chops, for his voice is smooth and engaging but the song itself is so outdated, even down to the production values which are little better than recording this in a barn.

I was already interested, and still am, but I don't think this was the wisest choice for a promo song. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful Interesting tune, By This review is from: Let the Good Times Roll (MP3 Download) Interesting song, what really surprises me though is the amount of time it has been the number one free song. |
