Jay Bennett has put off the would-have-been October release of Kicking at the Perfumed Air to premiere Whatever Happened I Apologize. The 10-track record, which he describes as "stark, stripped down, and acoustic based," is available now for free, via RockProper.com.
Much like love, Jay Bennett-related material tends to come in spurts. The timeline of releases:Ex-Wilco guitarist and alt-country singer/song writer Jay Bennett has announced new tour dates in support of his fourth studio album, The Magnificent Defeat, released last September.
Bennett first gained recognition for his work with Jeff Tweedy on the Wilco album Being There before going behind the studio panels to serve as producer and session player for such artists as Jeff Black, Sheryl Crow and Blues Traveler.

As Wilco addicts count down the days 'til the Sept. 26 release of Jay Bennett's latest solo release, The Magnificent Defeat, the man himself is prepping for an upcoming U.S. tour. Starting Oct. 18 in Chicago, Bennett will hit the road with fellow traditional pop-rockers Death Ships.
Fans may be disappointed to learn the tour ends a scant two weeks later, but after a short break, the indie heavyweight plans to resume touring in December.
