I was fortunate enough to catch Brett Dennen play early last year, and since then I've been looking forward to a new album from him. Well, my wait is finally over, as Hope For the Hopeless hits the shelves on the 21st. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I have gotten hold of the first single from the album, Make You Crazy, which features Femi Kuti, and which you can listen to below...
Before I get started I should probably note a prejudice of mine that, in retrospect, might have justified a more appreciative listener taking the great seat I occupied at Brett Dennen's show at The Independent. Surely somebody else would have enjoyed it more. But me, I'm irretrievably biased, in... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit the MCMB website for full links, free music, great vide...

This is classic music - knows no time, no shelter...and yet...will ride the hear...

Compared to legends like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, his music is familiar and his lyrics are real. He is a man of truth, a testament to a frustrated generation seeking a social "revol...
It's official, Brett Dennen needs a hair cut. Trust me on this one Brett; cutting your hair would be good for your career. You already have slightly awkward facial tics while you're playing {think John Mayer's classic grimaces} and while your long hair oft strays in front of these moments it's not helping as much as you might think. Consider this an open and honest letter Mr. Dennen. I'm ab...
