Lucinda Williams on Ben de la Cour: “A true poet. You need this bright young talent.”

Ben de la Cour’s “Americanoir” songwriting cuts deep. His latest album, New Roses (★★★★, MOJO’s Album of the Month), balances doom and hope, “night songs” that find light in darkness. 

After touring as Lucinda Williams’ opener, he’s now selling out UK & Ireland shows on his own headline run.
