Johnny Bennett is one of those rare, but highly sought after artists - the breed of singer/songwriter who has lifetime experience and wisdom that literally gushes into the meaning and sentiment of every song he writes. Having previously held residency in San Francisco, New York and currently Los Angeles, Johnny Bennett is well equipped to draw on varied walks of life, adding a precious depth and quality to his work.
"Johnny Bennett is a solid multi-rocker but more in the way of Van Morrison with elements of very early Bowie. Add to that the occasional dip into Nick Drake (Lights in the Drive), sometimes the echo of Cat Stevens (One Night Bag), even some Robert Kraft, and you have an eclectic base that's surprisingly copacetic here."

“All the Devils are Here,” is the recently released CD by Johnny Bennett. This album is a wonderful collection of acoustic Folk songs in which Bennett sings and plays acoustic guitar. Opening up the CD, “Let It Sing (feat. Theresa Houston),” is a wonderful duet that has sweet and charming vocals that gracefully swirl around the bouncy chord progressions of the acoustic guitar. Houston’s voice is quite delightful as her voice is strong and blends well with Bennett. Another song, “A Girl From Birmingham,” shows off Bennett’s soft and soothing voice as he gently sings the melodic lyrics. “Turning Me Into What I Hated the Most,” has insightful lyrics which Bennett sings with soulful sincerity. If you are into the Folk music of Joni Mitchell or Jackson Browne, then you will really enjoy the delectable Folk songs on the album, “All the Devils are Here.”
