CHARIOT 'I Am Ben Hur' (CD) 

CHARIOT is a pop supergroup formed by Ken Stringfellow and Brian Young of The POSIES, with Javier Escovedo of The Zeros and True Believers, and Pat Fear of White Flag. The band has been described as “an unlikely and alarmingly good combination of classic Posies harmony, Escovedo’s roots rock and roll ethics, and Fear’s legendary pop-punk song craft...as if the “Exile” period Stones had an after show jam and invited Alex Chilton, Arthur Lee, Paul Weller and Sky Saxon on stage. Stand by for bidding wars.” CHARIOT’s original material varies from straight ahead rock and roll with a Stooges flair, to sensitive sixties pop, from Gram Parsons period Byrds’ country rock, to classically morbid cowboy ballads. “I AM BEN HUR” is a collection of sixteen songs which covers most of the influences these admired and respected musicians-songwritters don’t dare to show with their own bands, and also some of the influences they are famous for.
