Ben Taylor is an artist who I’ve kept tabs on over the years, albeit casually, so I missed the fact that he’d released a new album, Listening, in mid-2012.  I picked up a copy when I was traipsing about the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis (one of the best music stores I’ve been to . . . → Read More: Wow, That’s a Good Song: Ben Taylor, “Oh Brother”
