Ben Tod looking like he’s been hitting the gym and meal planning

[@joshuaadams5295]

I thought he was looking like a beast too!

[@GatorTroubadour]

Just good ol’ fashion farm work

[@ryankelly7562]

[@MarkRiley12]

Staying clean and working hard on his farm. Dude being a role model these day. Super proud of him.

This is so different from previous material but it's so damn good! This is true unfiltered country gold.

[@Welcometothewoodshedpodcast]

I came here to say this.

[@wm.riley3]

Keepin up that outlaw country, man. It's great.

[@thenewtowncryer]

Did you catch Charley Crockett's THE MAN FROM WACO?

[@algernonsblackwoods5859]

I'm a metal guy, but when Ben puts out a new song that's great day. This man's music has helped me on a personal level more than anyone else's.

[@mrod666]

Same. His albums were on repeat for months a couple of years ago.

[@justjesse3640]

Same. I think he is punk rock as it gets. I love his records. Jason dae west and hill country devil also

[@algernonsblackwoods5859]

@justjesse3640 Absolutely, Hayden is amazing as well. Both of these guys completely changed my perspective on "country". Also like a dude named Arlo Mckinley check him out if you haven't heard him, a good song is bag of pills.

[@justjesse3640]

@@algernonsblackwoods5859 is Hayden a singular name or is there a last or first name. Thanks for heads up. I am super wrapped up in this music right now. I'll look up anything you got .

[@marcus-hoonigan7]

Long story short years ago he helped me with what seemed like insurmountable depression after loosing my uncle to Pancreatic cancer (firefighter in El Paso for may years- Chris L. Hayes) I have many other avenues of music but I love the road he has been down and though. Sens of calm and love that only comes from hardships. Magic in the words. I lived many places but I remember vividly in KY moving to Alaska and saying goodbye to my family I jammed his so loud all the birds could hear- tears streaming down my face. Keep it up my friend and thank you for sharing you path with us. I've never talked about my uncle online so I guess this might be a treat for you all. Love hard, we never know when our time is up~

Im waking up tomorrow and starting again. I have to so i can be the best me for my kids but for life this time not a year. See yall down the line

[@SmallerLives]

Wishing you all the best. I had twenty-plus years of drinking more than I wanted to, and just snapped out of it one day. The fact that you want to do it means you are going to do it, whether it's this time or the next time. Go easy on yourself and just do the best you can.

[@joshuaewalt486]

Start over as many times as it takes. You're worth the effort! 💪

[@Always_A_Lady]

You've got this buddy we are all rooting for you & mostly your babies are & they need you in your right mind now more than ever. I pray you wake up each day & first call on Jesus Christ to guide you & give you strength & second know that you are an honorable dependable man - 1st for yourself & to that of your beautiful precious little ones. Take care my friend & God Bless You & Your Babies. 🙏❤️🕊️🌺🌻🌼😁🤠😎

“Sober” isnt the end of the war. Its the battle that you fight everyday. Sometimes we win the battle. Sometimes we lose the battle. The important thing is youre still here, so the war isnt over.

Guess old country isn't gone. Steel guitars and fiddles? Classic. Dude could have made millions in 1965-75. Hope he does now.

Ben I'm 124 days sober today, about to main share for the first time at my home group. Thank you for your experience strength and hope! I never cared for life too much, it's too much blood and not enough guts...

[@abrahamacosta6839]

I feel it he helped me to battle a cocaine addiction, I was doing bad for about a year, I still drink heavily but I’m happy to be cleaner then I once was my next step and goal in life is to stop drinking as much, his music touched my soul I haven’t messed with the powder since may 2nd

What I've always appreciated about your music both Solo and Lost Dog it's helped me face the fears that I'm not alone with my thoughts and feelings and gave me courage to make that first step forward again. Thank you..

[@lildeebo0613]

Amen

One of the best country singers alive, still dropping new stuff, both solo and with lost dog street band, bangers everytime. Shoutout from your fans in Wyoming! We love what you do!

Keep going man. You can definitely be one of the greatest country/western musicians of all time.

[@leslieholmes2899]

Old school. Great song.

[@b.w.22]

Hey brother - I really like this song and the ways it differs from your classic efforts of deeply-felt, revealing, and often heart-wrenching poems set against sparse instrumentation. While retaining your inimitable timbre, phrasing, and cadence, this song with its full band sounds to me like something heard during the heyday of the Opry. I could hear this song playing at the Boar’s Nest in an episode guest starring Darrell Waltrip, another of Kentucky’s sons. It is “throwback” in the best of ways and sounds like that “real country” to which so many aspire and often fall short of. Keep it up, man.

[@towndrunkjr.5420]

Im lovin the traditional sound!! I love how this mans sound evolves with him

[@JC-vq1tp]

Wow. I am a fellow musician and I have been a fan for quite some time, but this is different. This is amazing. Congratulations.

[@limpiiicken1949]

Buy his art. This man has bled himself dry and got it all back more than we can count sheep at night. He deserves every bit of coin. Love seeing my fellow brethren rise above. Pump tunes out. And just straight up exist as a human being. He ain't the man we thought he was. He's more than that.

I love this song can't get enough

[@shanevitale4632]

Not your usual, but knowing how hard it must be to make such a mainstream feel to a song you probably originally wrote with just the guitar and wasn't arranged to sound like a 90's to 100. I just seen you a couple months ago up in michigan and loved how you were live. You'll always be one of the best song writers please don't go mainstream..

[@calebnorman1841]

This is mainstream? It sounds closer to Hank Sr. to me

[@CynthiaPouliot-oq9bu]

Glad people are liking it because it is quite sad for me his new music aint nothing compared to as good all his others projects has been.... and yes you can be 💯 sober and make great music of course

[@Trapper4265]

Caught the concert in Boston in April 2024. Benjamin Tod has a tight band. It was a great concert. 😊

[@Unclesmokey314]

my road to this began with some hick hop, kicked into overdrive in oct after seeing Sturgill live finally and branching out from him. Whitehouse rd, Black Creek, Ballad of 1892.. all got me here. Something tells me i am glad af this was my cherry poppin'. The comment section looks to tell a person he's about to get into deep waters. Good, I know them well and can swim. this independent/non mainstream journey i am on is helping me through deep personal times.. they never seem to end or stop. but there's brighter moments. Thanks Ben!
