Between 1998 and 2009 I wrote nearly 100 songs and released five albums. 17 of those songs are represented here. My intention was to record each song in an earthy, organic and honest manner. In today’s society of unnecessary noise, excess and commercialism, this simple approach appealed to me. Each song is a snapshot of people I have met, places I have been and various landscapes and roads I have taken. On this album you will hear songs about love, love-gone-wrong, boats, fog, the first hundred miles, being a Daddy and the moon. Some songs were written overlooking the Olympia, WA harbor. Others were written on the central coast of California. Many were written under the shadow of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Wherever the songs were written, I hope you enjoy them and that each little “souvenir” finds a small place in your life. Thanks for supporting independent music.

'Slow It Down, Take a Step Back' is the fifth full-length CD release by folk singer-songwriter Jason Bennett. The CD features nine original songs composed by Bennett and one Bob Dylan cover, Shooting Star. On this recording you will hear acoustic and pedal-steel guitars, a lonesome harmonica and delicate, warm vocals cradled with shimmering harmonies. You will hear children’s laughter. You will hear rain and thunder. You will hear songs that cry out in desperation, close to the point of giving up; “I cried for the first hundred miles. And I cried for a thousand more. And I tried to put it all behind me. But that ain’t working anymore.”
