Ben Folds Five is back together and fans excited and are anticipating their reunion album, which still has no release date. However, today they have released an up tempo tune with saloon like piano riffs, and a bold bass line that holds it all down. At first I wanted to say it reminded me one of the Phish songs where they get all country, and you just feel like slappin’ your knee as you bounce around… Then I could hear the old Ben Folds Five I remembered… and as the piano gets faster, I imagined myself in a bar fight with some other cowboys (yes, saw myself as one), as we had a dispute over a game of poker in one of those old country saloons. Hey, maybe there’s an idea for their first video for the album.
Check out “Do It Anyway”, below…

Felix the Hat,
Live Music City, high hopes!
