Still Here [CD]

Ben Levin, 21, brings vintage style with youthful fire to his piano, singing and songwriting. The songs written by Ben and his father, guitarist Aron Levin, and the well-chosen covers reflect the music and sound of Cincinnatis historic King Records along with whats in their hearts today. Bens piano influences are New Orleans greats Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, and Smiley Lewis. From Chicago Blues, he mixes in Otis Spann, Pinetop Perkins and Henry Gray, along with the relentless drive of Cincinnatis Big Joe Duskin. Bens father, Aron Levin, contributes deep songwriting and guitar playing that can be only from a family connection. His tone, phrasing, and ability to ride styles with clever originality make for seamless musical and genetic collaboration. The original songs are organic and homegrown. The stories come from Bens and Arons lives. Their Blues, perspective and philosophy is brilliantly paced with their danceable, upbeat songs. 1 Love And Friendship 2 Still Here 3 That's The Meal 4 I Can't Stop It 5 Bad Idea 6 Please Let Me Get One Word In 7 Kissing At Midnight 8 Crown Jewel 9 Christmas Rain 10 Her Older Brother 11 Wonder What's The Matter 12 I'm Your Essential Worker
