2017-04-04 ALBUM REVIEW - BENJAMING'S CLAN "Sedm statečných" (2017)
Benjaming's Clan "Sedm statečných"
Release date: January 28, 2017
Running time: 53:30, 14 tracks
"Sedm statečných" is the second album released by Czech band Benjaming’s Clan. The bagpipes punk family band Benjaming Band evolved into a Celtic rock band when Polish musician Jacek joined them. A new approach involved a new name. Another Polish musician came on board, fiddler Gřešek. Later, Gřešek left the band and they hired the services of female fiddler Barča. Gřešek came back and currently Benjaming’s Clan are a 7 piece band. In fact, the title of their brand new album “Sedm statečných” means “The Magnificent Seven”.
It would be simple to say that the old bagpipes punk band evolved into a bagpipes rock band. But this would not be 100% right. The bagpipes rock side of the band is showcased on the amazing song “Baby Boxy”, the interesting tribal number “Šel do baru”, “Všude kde jsi” with a Mudmen touch, the bluesy “Zeleznej Dedek”, “Pohádková” or the opening track “Andel strážný”. But there are quite a few Celtic rock numbers were no pipes are played. Yes, accordion, percussion or backing banjo play a big role on Benjaming’s Clan new album.
“Stoletá láska” has all the above mentioned elements and it’s one of the album highlights. “Vekslák” is a catchy number, thanks to its na-na-na vocals, an addictive accordion and fiddle theme, and some yee-has. I love the bluegrass-y “Obézní muz”, and “Hudebníkova Zpoved’” ans “Slepecký pes” are enjoyable songs too.
The only cover in the album is the closing number “Amazing Grace”. It gets an ethereal treatment with guest Maruska on female vocals. Most of the lyrics on the album have been written by their friend Jiri lokouta, but “Zeleznej Dedek” has been written by poet Petr Havránek.
"Sedm statečných" is more ambitious musically than their previous album and Benjaming's Clan have not failed, quite the contrary. In other words, "Sedm statečných" is the Benjaming’s Clan’s most mature effort to date.

REVIEW - BENJAMINGS CLAN "Století Páry" (2013)
Benjaming's Clan "Století Páry" self-released
Released date: July 2013
Running time: 48:01, 15 tracks
The bagpipes punk family band from Petrikovice has grown up. The three brothers and their father decided that their music should take a new direction. A new member jumped in (Jacek: banjo, 12 string guitar, slide guitar, tin whistle) and the band’s name was changed from Benjaming Band to Benjaming’s Clan.
The band’s new motto is clear: “Pipes Energy Folk”. “Století Páry” consists of a couple of instrumentals (Intro and Outro), new tracks such as “In Vino Veritas”, new renditions of old compositions (“Americké Popelníky”, “Karavánek” …) and well-known songs and tunes (“Can Can”, “Jesse James” …) There is a new sound and new arrangements but the same attitude: fun, fun and more fun.
The opening track “Intro: Rowan Tree/High Road to Garloch” and the closing number “Benjaming’s Jig” are two interesting pipes and drums sets. “Cestovatel” is an “Irish Rover” cover in Czech whose main points are the banjo and fiddle arrangements.
“Americké Popelníky” is given a new lease of life and the final result is quite good
“Karavanek” and “Ve jeménu krále”, originally on “Zhor!”, have been re-recorded in a different way. The former is slower, featuring tin whistle, mandolin and na-na-na backing vocals; the latter is a banjo and pipes faster version with amazing drums.”Irská Hospoda”, from the same album, gets a slower treatment too.
Guest fiddler Grzegorz Dabrowski also plays on “Jesse James” and “Morský vlk”. The other guest is Kamil Pietrowiak, who plays jews harp on “Roklinka”. This song, whose original version was on “Americké Popelníky”, features awesome drumming, pipes and banjo.
Taking into account the CD sales after the gigs, it can be said that the fans are appreciating the band’s new approach. A bagpipes punk band is gone, but a bagpipes rock band has arrived.
Tracklist:
01. Intro (Rowan Tree, High Road To Gairloch) 1:30
02. Americké Popelníky 3:05
03. Cestovatel 3:46
04. In Vino Veritas 3:57
05. Karavánek 3:26
06. Ve Jménu Krále 3:59
07. Hospudka 3:14
08. Cancan 1:19
09. Jesse James 3:30
10. Irská Hospoda 3:32
11. At Už Nikdy Nejsi Sám 3:04
12. Roklinka 4:11
13. Bohové Na Hrad 3:21
14. Morský Vlk 3:50
15. Benjaming’s Jig 1:41
