Rapidly gaining fans in the mainstream folk arena, this latest album from Bob Bennett breaks no new barriers but conveys a strong set of songs in well-produced style. Bennett's rich tenor voice is well-matched by his intricate picking style and true-to-life lyrics--these ones seem to suggest that there is a new love in Bennett's life. The singer/songwriter field is currently full to overflowing, but this is an artist who's been around long enough to have earned his place, and Small Graces is a good demonstration of his well-developed style.
