"You need to hear this. Benji Cossa is gentle master of song, and the Tightens, an assembly of SBR all stars, high rollers and in-demand musical killers, are his tight, hot 70s-styled rock and country backing band. On this record, his 4th full length release for SBR in two years, Benji assembles the Tightens, a backing band of monumental proportions, a band with sterling credentials, a band comprised of Serious Business all-stars, and he takes you, the careful listener, on a country-fueled, 70s-styled musical joy-ride through the heart of man. Benji's songs have never been driven by such power! On one fruitful weekend in January of 2008, a seven-piece band called the Tightens recorded six of Benji's freshest items live-to-2" tape. The rest of the record was fleshed out through informal one-offs, one of which is a collaboration with The Two Man Gentlemen Band.
