Sounds Like: Real Thing , the second album from American singer-songwriter Ben Carroll, is a collection of 11 original songs that expose Carroll's deep soul and folk influences, and tell stories of longing, hope, murder, love and even jubilee. Real Thing was produced with Ben’s dad Jon Carroll, a Grammy-winning artist and veteran arranger/producer. The record was just released October 1, 2007 on Orchid Music, the new sister label of Orchid Classics.
“The Orchid label holds plenty of surprises yet.â€
-Time Out London
Lover Undercover (Luckytone Records, 2005) is Ben's debut album. A Simple Kind, Dola Rosa, Angel's Arms and Lover Undercover are all songs from the album being played on FM and Satellite radio, and MTV and Country Music Television place Carroll's songs in lots of their shows.
"There are no frills or large cinematic productions (on Lover Undercover), but rather the songs are unadorned, bare and vulnerable like a newborn baby, and enraptured in the same innocence." -Northeast In-Tune
