Benjamin Tod Interview 

Ben brings something into his music that the music industry (and society in general) sadly lacks in spades... authenticity. Thanks for the music Ben.

best singer/songwriter of our time. period... Ben is a legend and we owe him and ashley so much for all they do for us

I need to see Ben on a monthly podcast of his own. On music and/ or DIY homesteading. Whatever he wants to talk about, I'm listening.

I came from Wales UK to see you in Nashville 2019. Do well. My Youngest son died on Christmas day past from cancer aged 22, I think of him as I listen to your songs. I'm sure you have done some very, very bad things as have many men, but it's about who you want to be. Being a useful person was all my son ever wanted to be. He was to be a vehicle recovery technician in the army.

I’ll say, I saw Ben in WV last week & for someone so tough on himself infront of large crowds, he put on a hell of a show. Also managed to get a picture w/ him before his set. Such a cool down to earth guy.

you can tell Ben is comfortable around said interviewer which makes this interview flow so well excellent job

Big fan of Benjamin and lost dog . First time watching a video from the yote. Comment for algorithms .

As a song writer myself I really look up too benjamin tod, imma fond believer of keeping the truth in songs, and he is the definition of what a song writer should be and how too write good music he keeps it 💯 always

If you ever tour through Canada you’ll see a huge group of people that know and love you. And we make sure our loved ones are taken care of. Love you Ben.

Often success comes with maturity yet maturity also ends up changing the performer and taking the passion and soul out it. I think that is why often after a good 2-3 albums performers never have another good album. Tyler Childers is like that. People can say he is as good as ever or even better, but all his output after Country Squire doesn’t equal half the Purgatory album. So… If Ben wants to take some time off I hope he takes off all the time he needs. I’ve noticed Ben has been listening to the old Hank Williams Honky Tonking music in his little RU-vid videos. Oh man Hank, Randy Travis, and Jason Isabell is one hell of a list of folks to be inspired by.

Ben, you and yours could bang on pots with wooden spoons, and my husband and I would be there. Can't wait to see what comes of this new chapter in your lives, best wishes to you all!

Well Coyote done it again. What a great interview. Ben never fails to speak the truth. The more Ben speaks, the more I realize we have in common and align with the same ideologies. Thank you Coyote for this interview.

Benjamin you can come play anything. No set list. Ontario would welcome you and we love you. I love you.

Wow, this was amazing. Thank you so much. Anyone struggling with lack of purpose or addiction would be well served to watch this all the way through.

i’m only 15 minutes in but wanted to comment on ben talking about the larger crowds and distracting people who aren’t really there for the music. i attended their show in 2019 while on a trip in austin TX. the performance was super intimate, everyone was singing along and locked in, it was incredible. i had never heard of LDSB but that show made me fall in love with them. i was so excited to see they’d be in wisconsin in 2020, i bought tickets right away and the show got postponed twice due to the pandemic. finally saw them in april of 2022 and the crowd was so fucking awful, loud and disrespectful. it’s like they were just all there to party and the music was only background noise. i felt horrible for the band. they absolutely did not deserve that. so ben, if you’re reading this i want to apologize on behalf of madison WI. i’ll travel to see you where the crowds don’t suck next time.

“Choose to be useful” man I know it. I listen to you on the way to the shop in the morning(40 min) and the same on the way home. Thank you for saying something I can not. I am walking through Brooklyn New York. It’s pretty sad at times but most days it seems so special

I beg Ben to write a book! Fill that life book with those stories and between the book and music they’ll never be lost !

this has become one of my favorite podcasts out there. Can't wait for the new BT record out tomorrow!!!!

I’m just a few miles from Ben, Kentucky is a place to cherish!!

Hell yeah!

Nashville and Lawrenceburg loves lost dog street band

Ben is a songwriters songwriter for sure. Canadian boy that saw him in Detroit and again soon in Buffalo. I would never yell out a request but if he played Life Ain't Sweet, Gasoline or Coming Down, that would warm me right up.

I just wanna sit with Ben in a one on one and listen to him play some of those songs he mentioned that he may play them differently then recorded. I wanna either here him perform Until I recoup (Glory 1) or sit with him and listen to it. Man that powerful song helped me through. Thank the Lord for Ben!

I really feel what Ben is saying about no longer relating to the songs of his past. Hell, it’s hard for me to listen to some of those songs, just because of where I was in life when I first heard them and related to them so much. Seeing him come out on the other side of that nihilistic despair is inspiring. As excited as I am to hear Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing, I think I’m more excited to hear some BT honky-tonk tunes!

27:00 I feel all this Ben says right here. I relate completely!

I want this guy to hit Montreal soon! I'd love to scratch an autograph!

Ben, I have followed Lost Dog Street Band since 2016. Found you during hard times man and pulled me through. September Doves is my all time favorite. Im in good times now. Your music inspired me, I have shared your music amongst good friends and family. Hope to meet you one day man! Cheers!

JUSTIN!!! This video has been insanely full circle for me. I just now realized you’re the dude I used to watch and listen to in order to learn about trapping. Trap House Podcast (great name by the way lol). And Hoosier Outdoors. I kept thinking your face and voice was familiar and then once I seen your last name I put it all together. Great podcast keep up the good work.

Awesome interview!

Fuckin' love seeing Ben bring up Sarah Shook. Looking forward to their 2023 tour. Also re: touring honky tonk -- playing music with my buddies and having fun is the main reason why I play with 'em. If it aint' fun, I ain't about it

Thank you Coyote. This interview was amazing and eye opening about Benjamin. It's incredible to see where he has come from and how much he's grown as a person. He's definitely somebody I look up to. Thank you for everything you've done.

Been waitin' on this since the last time!!! Hoooooweee!

Can't wait

Shout out to Benjamin tod from Chicago Illinois

super grateful for this sit down chat. thank you

Deep appreciations for an enlightening interview with the great Benjamin Tod. Love the well thought-out questions, the flow, along with the intimate/honest and candid answers from Benjamin. New insight is provided to us on his views, experiences, and wisdom earned through his life. As an old cowboy buddy of mine says, "life is a many splendored thing" and Ben epitomizes it. to Justin "Coyote" Jett for hosting a phenomenal discussion. Long live the Coyote and long live Benjamin Tod!

Fuckin stoked for this!

Ben is the voice we need now. Great interview!!

Keep doing these interviews my friend!

Loved watching homeboy kick it off by thinning out a filter.

My favorite thus far! Looking forward to the 15th. Thanks to you and Ben for being Aces!

Fuck yeah dude! Great shit!

love the low quality reversed audio

Always enjoy hearing you guys have a conversation, but man I got a nicotine headache just watching Benjamin chain smoking.

Upchurch collab please... #creeksuad. Or jellyroll

I don't like using again either because I love Jesus. However, September Doves and all his song are easy on the 👂. The concert in charlotte NC was 👌. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

As a loyal fan who has stood in the front row more than once, the boot comment stung a bit. Love ya, Ben. Gotta do some work with that ego.

He seems drunk.

This interview made me like Benjamin Tod Less.

I wish the interviewer dove more into the masculinity topic with him. That would’ve been really interesting. I’m also so excited to hear this new Honky Tonk style From Benjamin! Sounds so fucking cool!
