Buster Benton

Buster Benton (July 19, 1932 – January 20, 1996) was an American blues guitarist and singer, who played guitar in Willie Dixon's Blues All-Stars, and is best known for his solo rendition of the Dixon-penned song "Spider in My Stew." He was tenacious and in the latter part of his lengthy career, despite the amputation of parts of both his legs, Benton never stopped playing his own version of Chicago blues.

Biography

Arley Benton was born in Texarkana, Arkansas.

Whilst residing in Toledo, Ohio, during the mid-1950s, and having been influenced by Sam Cooke and B.B. King, Benton began playing blues music. By 1959, he was leading his own band in Chicago. During the 1960s, local record labels, such as Melloway, Alteen, Sonic, and Twinight Records released several Benton singles, before in 1971 he joined Willie Dixon. Indeed, a lack of opportunity in the early 1960s meant that Benton gave up playing professionally for several years, and he worked as an auto mechanic. Benton's earlier work was an amalgam of blues and soul, which he confusingly dubbed 'disco blues'. However, according to Music journalist, Bill Dahl, "in the late 1970s, when the popularity of blues music was at low ebb, Benton's recordings, particularly for Ronn Records, were a breath of fresh air."

Gregory Heaney of Allmusic praised She and Him's "sunny, lovestruck sounds." Magnet Magazine stated that the album is "instantly likeable," and Dale Eisinger of Consequence of Sound commented that the album contains many "effortless and fully realized songs." However, while Rudy K. of Sputnikmusic praised, "the simplicity of the songs and the everyday romance they conjure," he also noted that at times the album "feels rote, a meticulous tastefulness that is pretty and nostalgic, yet largely uninteresting."
