And The Crowd Went Mild: Live in London – New Shot Records NSR30012025 Singer-Songwriter Ben de la Cour , the King of “Americanoir” , presents a complete acoustic show recorded in 2024. Ben is a prodigious storyteller, the vividness of his lyrics as powerful as the darkness they possess. The Press say: “There are bigger singer-songwriter names out there but few can do what Ben de la Cour does.” And: “Highly appreciated by a modest number of devotees, Ben is this generation’s Townes Van Zandt.”
