Superb thought provoking
author: JulieThe music is raw, not too much attention paid to production but the music is strong and powerful enough to make up for this ten times over. This music grows on you. Well done Benny Tetteh-Lartey
Great Music
author: Lesley MossCheck out "Head in the Sand" (song 4). I really enjoyed this CD. It was nice to get away from the crap that comes from Pop Idols on the TV. Great lyrics- very moving with a sound not unlike Coldplay. I've seen him live many times and he is a true professional. Everyone needs his CD in their collection - His music will reach everyone. Buy it now!
Brilliant, powerfull, original, refreshing
author: Bruce FinleyBenny Tetteh-Lartey is the creme de la creme of the music world. It is obviouse once you hear the music that this is no novis. The story of his uncle Alex is powerful and compelling. He writes with integrity and conviction. Then with songs like Roses are Red he shows himself to be a hit maker who has a gentleness and passion. For sheer variety you need to check him out for yourself. Well done Benny
Captivating and thought provoking with powerful voice
author: David GrayVery raw and real sounding music which you can relate to. Beautifully played real sounding instruments with meaningful lyrics. I could listen all day long!
Great
