Brendan Benson to release special single
Jack White's new bandmate caps a great year
Brendan Benson is to release a download and 7" only single later this month.
The Detroit-based singer, whose third album 'The Alternative To Love' was released earlier this year, is to follow up his recent UK tour by issuing a new version of 'What I'm Looking For', which will be available on iTunes from October 24.
The 7", featuring an alternative version of 'Them And Me', is released on November 7. A live version of 'What I'm Looking For' will also be featured on iTunes from that day.
Benson has just completed his biggest ever UK tour, and will shortly return to his hometown of Detroit to put the finishing touches to the album he has made with Jack White under the name of The Raconteurs, which will be released next year.

This is one cd I am looking forward to, I am very curious to see what Brendan and Jack can do together. iTunes has become the hipster playground with unreleased tracks, iTunes exclusives, pre-orders and chances for concert tickets and now videos. Its good to see iTunes doing so well, its about time someone gave the music industry the bird and reclaimed music. I still have some problems with iTunes, the songs are too expensive .99c a song needs to be lowered along with the $9.99 a cd. I think $5 a cd would be perfect but I with over 500 million songs sold, I am in the minority. The quality is only 128kb which is fine for listening but if you want to convert them into unrestricted mp3s you lose quality. I still buy music from iTunes but do it sparingly only when they have iTunes only.
eMusic sells their unrestricted mp3s at 160kb to 192kb which are perfect. eMusic doesn't have all the hottest releases they have over 700,000 songs but its all smaller indie labels. I have had the $9.99 a month for 40 downloads for over a year now and love it, I recommend all of you to signup. You get 50 free downloads for just signing up, thats like 4 cds for free. Depending on how long the cd is, thats how many tracks are subtracted from your monthly allowance. I just got 2 old Soul Asylum cds, "while you were out" and "made to be broken" and still have 16 tracks left to download.
