		Jay Bennett was a significant driving force behind the evolving sound, increasingly mature songwriting and success of the twice-Grammy-nominated Wilco for 6 years.
		Bennett also contributed heavily to Mermaid Avenue, Volumes I and II - a joint project with British songwriter Billy Bragg, brought previously unreleased Woody Guthrie lyrics to light (and to life).
		Among the many songs written or co-written by Bennett are the singles, "California Stars" and "Secret of the Sea."Since leaving Wilco, Jay teamed up with his long-time friend and musical collaborator, Edward Burch, to release the critically-aclaimed The Palace at 4am (part 1).

	Jay Bennett (Wilco) - Magnificent Defeat :: Not Lame Recordings - power pop and melodic rock record label, music and CDs
		Chicago multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett has accomplished enough in his solo career to rid himself of the "ex-Wilco" moniker.
		Bennett has a uniquely nasal vocal delivery which can too often evoke Elvis Costello, but his ear for pure pop grandeur is palpable on "Wide Open," which could be an outtake from Fleetwood Macs Rumors, and the guitar-driven "Replace You," complete with its meaty Hammond accompaniment.
		Jay Bennett`s fourth solo effort, The Magnificent Defeat, is as dizzying and dazzling as anything he and his former bandmates put together, and it`s nowhere near as mopey.

	Jay Bennett Profile
		Bennett is excited as he shows off a stereo system he recently set up in his garage after buying it for a mere $16 at a garage sale to raise money for paralyzed high school athlete Rob Komosa.
		Bennett says he gained his knack for mechanics as a boy, working on cars with his father, and then when he worked in the mid-'90s at an electronics repair shop.
		Bennett is also a musical handyman, adept at playing just about any instrument you set in front of him or finding just the right way to record other musicians.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by Jay Bennett called The Magnificent Defeat
		For those of us not in the know, Jay Bennett was an integral creative force in alt.
		Bennett is a creative loose creative cannon who once outside of the commercial concerns of Wilco has gone into a song writing overdrive.
		But Jay is nothing if not surprising and slips into the 60's folk pop shoes of 'I'm Feeling Fine' which suggests he can pen a commercial ditty at the drop of a hat.

	Jay Bennett: The Magnificent Defeat Aversion.com Review
		It led to some great albums, but now that Bennett's on his own again, it's hard not to shake the feeling that he'll be haunted by the ghosts of Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot for the rest of his life.
		Bennett's fourth disc since taking a bow from his former act, it sees Bennett abandoning the moodier aspects that tied his first three albums firmly to the Wilco legacy.
		Bennett's probably typecast as an ex-member of Wilco for life, but he's not letting that chain him to his past.

	Muzzle of Bees » Jay Bennett - The Magnificent Defeat
		I’m waiting for a flight to New York listening to Jay Bennett lament a 5th grade girl “who drew pretty pictures” on the second song of his recently released album, The Magnificent Defeat.
		What Jay has managed to do is make a near perfect alt-country album, if people are still using that phrase but also not shy away from laying down some straight up rock and roll.
		Jay Bennett’s album takes you upon depths you never realized he could reach.

		Would Bennett have even attempted to create songs that anyone could possibly enjoy listening to, all of this would be easier to handle.
		Bennett ultimately loses this song by having his vocals in the foreground instead of finding some sort of balanced level between his and Anthony's.
		Bennett's desperation on tracks like "I Want You Back" and "Genevera" is so palpable that it crosses the line of simple emotional response into sheer horror at how this man's condition must truly be.

	Glorious Noise - Rock and roll can change your life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In the many months since guitarist/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Jay Bennett left the band rumors have swirled regarding his leaving, the role he played in the band and the tracks he contributed to what most critics consider the band's masterpiece.
		Glorious Noise ran into Jay at an in-store performance where he and his current songwriting partner Edward Burch were promoting their new album The Palace at 4am (Part 1), and we asked Jay about some of these rumors and other questions.
		I was lucky enough to naturally and gradually develop a working relationship and friendship with him and the rest of the band, where I moved into a multi-instrumentalist role, and arranger/producer role as well, and then became a song writing partner to boot.

		It is nearly impossible to write a review of Jay Bennett's latest effort, or any Jay Bennett release for that matter, without referring in some way, however tangentially it may be, to his background in and dismissal from the pioneering roots-rock ensemble Wilco.
		A lot of these songs focus on past relationships, and display this same emotional confusion; Bennett is by turns bitter and regretful, as quick to bemoan the loss at to to say "good riddance." Which is, in actual fact, how a breakup of any kind often feels (at least to me).
		Which is why it's so rewarding to hear Jay bringing it all on "The Magnificent Defeat." This album is a glorious return to the highs of "Summerteeth" and "Being There," with bits of "YHF" sprinkled in, not to mention a smattering of Elvis Costello and other straight-up pop influences.

	WERS.org :: Artist Interview: Jay Bennett
		The recording sessions became a healing process for Bennett as he struggled with divorce, the death of four family members, illness in his family and his split from Wilco.
		Bennett’s rough, honest voice sounds like he’s been up all night singing, but it’s refreshing.
		Bennett plucks his guitar strings with a yellow pick, singing “Your mind, it starts to wander through all these memories of the past/ You're still reminded of the times when you were good as gold/,” and concludes his set.

		I suppose it's natural for the breakup of a band (or one musician's removal as was the case with Jay Bennett being forced to leave Wilco) to cause fans to take sides and proclaim one side the victor.
		This album by Jay Bennett is surprisingly good and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Son Volt/Jay Farrar, Wilco, Ryan Adams, or any other singer-songwriter who sings with passion.
		Bennett's voice is pretty bad and his music is blah blah pop with nothing special.

	Jay Bennett & Edward Burch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ex-Wilco multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett’s highly publicized ouster from that band (after he had co-written the music for eight of Yankee Hotel Foxtrotýs 11 tracks and shared engineering duties) constituted one of the uglier aspects of last year’s Wilco/Reprise debacle.
		To his credit, Bennett seems to have put aside any bitterness and, collaborating with Chicago songwriter Edward Burch, made the more traditional but no less lovely Wilco album he may have envisioned all along.
		Burch’s close harmonies and looming baritone, cultivated during his occasional stints with the Handsome Family, serve as a moody counterpart to Bennett’s agreeably rough-hewn vocals.

Bennett also contributed heavily to "Mermaid Avenue, Volume I" and "Volume II" -- a joint project with British songwriter Billy Bragg -- which brought previously unreleased Woody Guthrie lyrics to light and to life.

		Hot on the heels of their debut, The Palace at 4 AM (Part 1), former Wilco guitarist, Jay Bennett, and friend to all, Edward Burch prepare to release an acoustic version of the very same album.
		Andrews said that the acoustic album would be stripped down to the bare essence, giving the fans a glimpse into how the songs were conceived.
		Recorded with Bennett and Burch in front of a microphone placed in a room, the album will stand in stark contrast to the final version of the Palace, which was layered with multiple tracks of instruments and vocals.

		If Bennett's mission upon leaving Wilco was to search for `the hook', it appears he's found it, as it makes an appearance in virtually every song.
		Although Bennett and Burch are not averse to tossing in sonic twists akin to those of their brethren Wilco, their songs are generally more `poppy', less edgy, more hummable and a very pleasant surprise.
		Admittedly, one could have gotten very nervous upon learning Jay Bennett was leaving Wilco; his pop sensibilities helped make "Summerteeth" one of the best records of the '90s and "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" the best record thus far of the new millennium.

	Jay Bennett: Bigger Than Blue / The Beloved Enemy: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For better or worse, Jay Bennett will probably always be known as The Guy Who Used to Be in Wilco.
		On this second album, Bennett is much more concerned with-- or distracted by-- the creation of a sonic landscape.
		Unfortunately, these songs are all so uniformly downtempo that his heavy production weighs them down and dampens their melodies; as a result, the album fails to establish any pace or momentum, but can only trudge leadenly along.

	Jay Bennett and Edward Burch: The Palace Brothers
		While Bennett was a member of the lauded Titanic Love Affair, he met guitarist and kindred pop spirit Edward Burch, and soon found they shared a number of common bonds; both hailed from Chicago, were in thriving Champaign bands, and had a deep love for sweeping ’60s pop.
		Although much has been made of his departure, Bennett insists that it had more to do with running toward the fruition of his work with Burch than running away from Wilco.
		With Bennett’s involvement in so many baroque pop projects over the years, the old chicken/egg question comes to the fore: is this what he has taken away from his experiences or what he brings to the table?

		Bennett spoke to me while on the road promoting his latest project, a collaboration with Edward Burch called The Palace at 4am (Part 1) (Undertow Records) that is without a doubt one of the best albums of 2002.
		Though Bennett's is certainly the name that will draw most listeners to The Palace at 4am, the album is definitely a collaboration.

		Objective: To use departed Wilco keyboardist Jay Bennett's debut album (with mystery man multi-instrumentalist Edward Burch) to determine the importance/nature of his role in said former band.
		Discussion: So, to analyze the data, it certainly appears that Bennett was not quite the forward-pushing individual many hypothesized he was for the band.
		Bennett's future may not be you-gotta-wear-shades bright, but we probably shouldn't write him off just yet.

		Jay Bennett was a significant force behind the evolving sound, increasingly mature songwriting, and critical success of the twice Grammy-nominated Wilco, making significant contributions to their albums Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue Volumes 1 and 2.
		The album’s unique sound comes from the variety of instruments (and objects) used in the recording, including Jay’s vast arsenal of misfit vintage instruments, toys with bells and a drum kit made of sheet metal.
		Jay’s unique musical vision, along with his incredible songwriting and production skills come together to create his most accomplished work to date.

		Bennett, the master of short sentences, has suspensfully plotted another mystery that is sure to appeal to reluctant readers.
		Amid much talk of responsibility and perspective, Brad confronts Alden and his father; but it's Alden's mother who finally blows the whistle out of concern for her son's conscience.
		Bennett's use of repetition, inch-long sentences and monosyllabic dialogue make his writing accessible for reluctant readers; still, compared to Strasser's The Accident (1988), both plot and themes here seem raw and undeveloped.
