Now that guitars prevail and have reached an undeniable preeminence in blues, it is really gratifying to find a young piano player, composer and singer like Ben Levin who enthusiastically and with a remarkable technique, defends and supports the importance of piano in blues music This Cincinatti coming piano player has just released his second album with twelve songs, half of them own compositions Big Joe Duskin’s influences in his piano playing become evident along all the blues he precisely develops with good taste and reliability, without forgetting New Orleans influences of artists like Fats Domino Despite his youth and although he has devoted most of his time to his studies, Ben Levin looks like a piano player would have got a wide experience in countless shows in clubs, bars and cafes Also mention the valuable contribution of some of his musical heros and friends such as Bob Margolin on guitar, Bob Corritore on harmonica or Philip Paul on drums among others This is an album of genuine and real blues, both from the musical performing as well as the songs displaying Blues piano lovers are really lucky with the appearance of such an artist like Ben Levin
