Ben Kenney (Incubus, ex-The Roots) solo stuff

[Djabthrash]

I'm a big Incubus fanboy, and it's no surprise that those guys are truly gifted and can play lots of instruments, but their bass player Ben Kenney (ex-The Roots) amazes me cuz' he does this badass solo stuff where he plays most if not all the instruments, and it rocks !!!

see the video below for proof :

I'm a huge Ben Kenney fan. Very talented dude and I think he's got great taste. It's pretty apparent in his solo albums that Incubus has been influential to his sound. The guy is also a fantastic interviewee, so check out his video interviews floating around the internet.

I recommend his album "Distance and Comfort" for anyone getting started on his stuff.

pitchy as in off-pitch ?

And maybe the other way around to some extent ?

I've been listening to his 4 solo albums everyday in the past few days. I love his stuff !!!
