Speed Graphic, the first of the three self-released EPs, contains five songs that include new, old, and covers, kicking off with The Cure’s “In Between Days.”
Perfect vocal pitch, extra energetic piano arpeggios, brilliant ad lib, and an Elton John cover. The classics are here, including material from the ‘Five era.
Ben Folds has taken his art beyond his predecessors. Neither Billy Joel nor Elton John packed as much lyrical relevance as Ben Folds during their heyday.
