RiYLEpisode 703: Benmont TenchAt age 11, his fate was sealed when Benmont Tench met Tom Petty at a Gainesville music store. Fueled by the recent British invasion, the pair made music together for the first time at The Sundowners. A decade later, Petty recruited the keyboardist for Mudcrutch, the Southern rock band that soon evolved into the Heartbreakers. For the past six decades, Tench has never strayed far from that path, playing keys on records by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and U2. This March saw the release of Tench’s second solo album, The Melancholy Season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

The Tom Petty ProjectAirportAirport is a tight little bundle of keyboard virtuosity from Benmont Tench with a lazy, groove-soaked accompaniment from Howie Epstein and Chris Trujillo in the rhythm section. This piece is hugely interesting in two different, very interesting ways. First of all, I’m pretty sure (given the credits in the album liner notes) that Tom didn’t play on it. Second, given that the melodic contributions would almost certainly have come spontaneously from the mind and fingers of Benmont Tench, it’s really curious to me that he isn’t at least co-credited on this one!If you w...

The Tom Petty ProjectTo Find a FriendOne of my very favourite virtuoso pianists is a Canadian/German guy named Michael Kaeshammer. The guy absolutely tears the roof off every time I’ve seen him live and what Benmont does here really reminds me of his playing. It’s technically superb, rhythmically perfect, and so, so, so melodic! As much as I love hearing a perfectly-crafted Mike Campbell guitar solo, it makes my heart sing possibly even more when we get something like this from Benmont, probably because the instances of his solos are fewer and further between.

The Tom Petty ProjectThink About MeThis is a very simple, very straight ahead rock n roll song. It’s not meant to do anything other than get your feet moving and your face smiling and it knocks that out of the park. It’s almost like the older, cooler cousin, of Anything That’s Rock n Roll. The cousin with the leather jacket and the hotrod car. It has bags of swagger and personality and some excellent off the cuff work from the entire band, but in particular Mike and Benmont.Check out the song here: https://youtu.be/5eZDzlGl84o ...

What the Riff Next Gen1979 - November: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers “Damn the Torpedoes”Damn the Torpedoes is the third studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and is the album where the group truly broke out into serious commercial success. They had done well with their first album, with "Breakdown" breaking into the top 40, and "American Girl" receiving some air play. But this album took the group to a different level. Damn the Torpedoes was their first top 10 album, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard album charts for 7 weeks. They were unfortunately kept out of the number 1 slot by the release of Pink Floyd's The Wall.

The classically trained pianist first had the inclination he wanted to be behind the keys after watching Sha Na Na on TV when he was 5. Lawson went to Berklee College of Music where he declared himself a jazz performance major, but while there he became an in-demand studio musician so he dropped out, not seeing much point in staying in school. He later formed the Chad Lawson trio, toured as part of Julio...

jpdaleWobbles (Benmont Tench cover)Benmont Tench is one of my favourite keyboard players. He's understated and laid back, but every note and lick serves the song perfectly.
His solo album, You Should Be So Lucky, is one gem after another, but the track that really spoke to me is 'Wobbles', a simple but lovely Professor Longhair-style rolling piano groove. So I had a bash at it, roping in my some-time band-mate Adrian Emanuel for some sweet slide guitar. If nothing else, it's reminded me just how hard it is to keep a continuous quiet left-hand rhythm going under a dynamic right-hand part. 18 year old...
