My Take

Ben Kenney is my kind of musician: a genuine multi-instrumentalist who can disappear into a band yet build entire worlds alone. Best known as Incubus's longtime bassist and earlier a guitarist with the Roots, he also records solo albums where he plays every instrument and sings every line. That self-sufficiency fascinates me; it speaks to someone in love with the sound itself rather than the spotlight. I admire players who anchor a group while quietly nurturing their own artistic vision. Kenney comes across as a craftsman first, the rare sideman whose solo work is just as worth your time.
