Here, Asleep by Ben Ricketts
After about a year of recording (and subsequently scrapping) half-finished albums, I present "Here, Asleep." The themes on this record span a lot of things. Most significantly, there are lyrics about my Christian faith, loved ones, politics, the human condition, the way we think about celebrities (specifically--though not mentioned--the great Kanye West), and so many other things. God bless. Enjoy, friends.
