One of the few of our generation that has real talent. Also one of the best lyricist as well. You can hear the emotion in every word he sings. Raw and pure talent

My favorite artist of all time. When I'm climbing mountains in wyoming all alone miles from civilization I have my jbl in my pack listening to your music. People like me don't have much representation this speaks to my soul like nothing else. Keep it up please.

You are one of the powerful voices of our time. People you have never met before are using your music to help them change for the better. Never stop fighting Ben. All of us will be fighting with you.

Thank you, from the bottom of my tattered soul. Just listened to the album and this is your best, most intimate work yet. That’s saying a lot. As a songwriter myself, you’re one of my personal heroes. We’re truly fortunate to have the songs you’ve written. Health and happiness to you and yours, man.

Your music has been my therapist through my own struggle with loneliness, addiction and the death of my brother. Every song means so much to me personaly. My life changed the night i, strung out on meth and drunk on cooking sherry, stumbled on to Using Again. Never has anyone written lyrics that cut through the bullshit and right to the bone. Your talent is so underrated. I try to show everyone I know your music

Shit I damnd neard half a life lived already and the other half with just an almighty question mark on it. Just happenstance that I ended up coming across some of your songs when I was living out of my storage unit over thw winter some years back. All I can say Is you got a gift son. That's not all that unusual. The Lord is a good God like that. Still in some way what you are doing is completely different. Whatever you decide to do with what's next. Know we Love & appreciate you. God bless you & yours brother..

I'm tumbling back into addiction after several months of being clean and I don't think I'm going to make it out alive this time. I'm not really sure I want to. My world is falling apart all around me and it's all by choice. Songs I Swore I'd Never Sing told me thoughts about myself and the world around me that I didn't even know I had. There's a good reason I've followed you religiously for years. You gotta come to OK sometime soon so I can go to a 4th Lost Dog show before my liver does me in. Thank you, Ben. You've saved so many lives with your words and given peace to the ones you haven't. Even though you'll never get it, at least not with the state of modern music, you deserve all the recognition in the world. I and so many others appreciate you more than you could ever know.

As hard as it is, I think I have to wait for my vinyl to come to me. I haven’t ever awaited an album like I have this one. Your music brings calm to my days. Thank you, truly

I've been waiting for you to drop new tunes brother. You have a hell of a talent and I absolutely love and 100% relate to your lyrics in every song. You have actually kept me alive with your music and your words thank you brother! I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

Fuck yes Ben. It's so cool to hear you and Christin in the car at 15, go through all that shit, and here I am 31, watching you and Ashley just fucking bloom and keep your roots through all of it. You guys made it. And it didn't take those mothrf to make it happen. You got the people with honesty. I tell people about that. That's real hope. Thank you guys.

Lost Dog Street Band
It is done.
The album of tales of insanity, death, sorrow and addiction is yours now. ‘Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing’ was never supposed to exist except in my mind and on scraps of tattered paper. It ain’t for everyone and I can live with that. It won’t be nominated, awarded or appreciated by this world the way it should. Their industry is too trite and shallow to even entertain real emotion. It is a relic of something that is lost on the masses. I too am becoming obsolete in this world from every mirroring axis.
Thank you for building the most loyal and dangerous cult following the roots industry has ever seen. It has allowed me to spit in the face of those in power while robbing their fortress blind. I have not always been perfect in my delivery as a leader, and for that I apologize. I will always speak truth regardless of who tries to silence me. I have always been the underdog, but with y’all behind me all these years it’s been an honor.
-Benjamin Tod
“Stand up tall and learn to fight
In the face of all you writhe
No one here gets out alive
Wear your tears with open eyes
Let go of all you hide
Are you livin’ life
Or too terrified to try”
