Waiting For U / On Raglan Road - Ben Reel Band Single Review

Single Review
Incredibly, Ben Reel seems to be almost overlooked in his native Ireland. This is totally baffling, but things are about to change, very soon.
Waiting For U is lifted from forthcoming album New Horizon.
Written by Reel, it's got enough class to make the playlists of BBC Radio 2 et al. This gorgeous song has also got enough appeal to make it in the States too, and that's where he most likely to make it first, as a household name.
This smooth and sophisticated slice of contemporary pop-jazz (shades of Steely Dan at their peak) is simply divine for the entire 4 minutes and 6 seconds. With its relaxed and loungy mood, it glides along beautifully with Reel's cultured vocals proving the icing on the cake.
On Raglan Road, a modern interpretation of a traditional song is a wonderful indigenous airing, complete with emotionally tinged harmonica and heartfelt lyrics.
