Ben Jones & Laurence Hobgood
This project is a heartbreaking, raw, brutally honest representation of what Laurence and I do together. We recorded it live at Skywalker Sound — just voice and piano in the room, no safety nets — and captured the music in real time. Every breath, every chord, every risk we took is right there for you to hear.
The songs are a mix of the familiar and the unexpected: 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Nature Boy, Take the Long Way Home, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, and a few surprises. It’s 75 minutes that moves from whispers to fireworks, tied together as one continuous story.
No matter how you like to listen, we’ve got you covered:
Vinyl: 12-inch 180-gram double LP, full-color gatefold jacket with insert — the warmest, most tactile way to experience this duo. When Laurence and I listened to the test pressings from United Record Pressing in Nashville, we couldn’t believe the depth of the sound, compared to the streaming versions.
CD: 8-panel full-color digipak with booklet insert — a classic format, easy to play anywhere. Manufactured by Groove House Records. We chose Groove House because of their high-fidelity manufacturing processes and their unrivaled environmental awareness.
Release date: September 26, 2025
Ships from: Brooklyn, NY (if you order vinyl or CD, chances are I’ll be the one packing your order).
This isn’t just an album. It’s a diary entry, a performance frozen in time, and the closest you can get to sitting in the room with us as the music was made.
