Brendan Benson - One Mississippi/The Wellfed Boy EP [EP][Extra tracks]

Startime International's 2003 reissue of Brendan Benson's One Mississippi (originally released by Virgin in 1996) is a welcome and well-done album sure to get anyone who dug Benson's Lapalco LP very excited. Lapalco was a great record propelled by a warm and organic sound and some classic songs. In 1996 Benson's sound was a little less organic, the arrangements busier and more radio-ready. It is still a great sounding record full of quirks and sonic surprises. The songs are wonderfully energetic and hooky, many being co-written by fellow power pop revivalist Jason Falkner and showing his influence. Benson has a tremendous rock voice too, bratty but tough. The best songs on One Mississippi like "Crosseyed" and "I'm Blessed" stand up to any modern power pop; in fact, you could even call the record a lost classic of the '90s if you wanted to be bold.
