In Cat Years is the long-awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed 2009 album Strange Dogs. In Cat Years takes a witty and melancholy approach to feline-induced acoustic metaphors of life and humor.. This is Ben's 11th album and the first one in over 10 years to include ONLY Ben performing ALL instruments that are recorded. Lots over Beatles overtones on 3 and 4 part harmonies, John Prine/Bob Dylan style writing, and instrumentation that evokes many styles of contemporary and traditional Folk.
