Customer Reviews:

I reviewed this back years ago but...........2005-04-05

Nice to see it re-released with Well-Fed Boy Demos EP. I have that on the original vinyl, and the rough (rejected) versions that were the foundation for One Mississippi are great.

Side 1 - Crosseyed, Me Just Purely, Cherries
Side 2 - I'm Blessed, Sittin Pretty, Christy

Hmm, produced and recorded by Jason Falkner. These songs were recorded onto a 4 track while just in town. Written by Brendan Benson. Ok reason for typing this directly from the sleeve is some credit Falkner for his songs/talent etc. (see reviews of The Alternative to Love)... which isn't quite fair/right. Sure he helped. But lets set it straight...

As others have put it, every song is great. Period. A must have... 'Maginary Girl to I'm Blessed, Sittin Pretty, Got No Secrets, Insects Rule, Bird's Eye View..... all of em Amazing

"If I point my gun at you, are you gonna see it my way?"

ok rumor is his tour this year will be backed by Beck's band as on his new album, he plays all guitar, bass, synth/keys/moog etc... basically everything except drums. No real official band... awesome. See ya there!

Masterpeice of the deep down Ally's of Detroit.......2005-01-25

This album is my new favorite album, with a sound simular to ben folds, but with guitar, and awsome lyrics. This album will have you strutting in a new kind of way. Its a feel good album. The first time you hear it, you will like it. Seriously Try the first 3 tracks out of this album. If you dont like it email me..... i would like to meet someone who does not like this album.

I'M DRINKING TEA WITH ONE MISSISSIPPI !!!!!!!!.......2005-01-06

This album is not just one of the best albums of 1994-2004, it is a true testament to artistry in an industry of clones and phonies. I am so impressed with Brendan Benson and his talent, that he has not only gained a fan for life, but I am bringing anybody I can on board. Its not hard to get people to like you or your music when its this good, I mean, all you've gotta do is get em to do is listen to it. My personal favorites are "Tea", "Bird's Eye View', "Emma J", "Me Just Purely (Demo Version)" and "The Swamp". There isnt even a "best song" on here, everyone just has their personal favorites. I'm eagerly anticipating the new album, Brendan, keep the good work up.

WHY is there only ONE review for the phonomenal record?.......2004-12-03

I was referred to Brendan Benson by someone who had seen him in 2002 opening for the White Stripes and promoting his other, newer record "Lapalco" ... and he has, effortlessly, become one of my favorite artists.

This album is power pop in its finest. The lyrics completely quirky, and the melodies infectious. The first three tracks are my absolute all-time favorite opening to an album. Brendan Benson does what all of those pseudo quirky alternative pop artists WANT to do but never come anywhere near achieving.

I would also like to note that I lost my Out-Of-Production copy of this album (which I bought on Ebay promptly after seeing him live in 2002 before this rerelease was available) in Germany and just recently bought the re-release with the EP, and I was very pleased to find new joy in an album I have almost worn out in listening over the years. I especially like the raw-er demo version of "Sittin' Pretty" ... the harmony at the chorus almost makes you wish it had ended up that way in the final cut... and "Christy" is just... one of the coolest tracks by anyone, anywhere.

Brendan Benson is a funny, genuine, and well-honed song writer. You will NOT regret a second of this album. From beginning to end, it is an absolute pleasure :)

A Modern (Cult) Classic Made Better!.......2003-12-03

One Mississippi is one of the most criminally overlooked debuts of the 90's...it took several years for BB to be free of his contract so he could follow it up w/2002's masterful 'Lapalco'--now, thanks to the success of that record, Star Time International has reissued BB's first record w/bonus tracks (previously unavaible in the US) and the Wellfed Boy ep (recorded w/Jason Falkner)...the ep is totally worth buying this again...these recordings will knock you off your feet...kudos to STI for making this domestically available again...enjoy!
