Some of you might not be aware that The Song on my Album "CC Rider Revisited" is a reinterpretation of Ma Rainey's "See See Rider" If you listen closely to the original you can see the kinship of the song. About 50 % of the lyrics are similar. I changed the s*x of the characters and also changed the ending since in the original song Ma Rainey talked about shooting See See Rider and jumping the Cannonball train on the way out of town,. If you enjoy Blues you might want to check out this film. When I took Music Appreciation in college Ma Rainey was credited as being one of the biggest influencers of early blues music. I hope that this movie is released
soon. I will definitely want to see it. R.I P. Chadwick Boseman.

I wrote this song to express my feelings about being envious of someone else’s life. I believe if your life is not what you want it to be that it is up to you to change it. Besides, as the song says ....”the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence”. You can find the album on all the major streaming sites or by going to rjbenning.com. I hope you enjoy the song. My partner Bob Kinney really helped me make this something special.

BK Tunes 1st Album is available for purchase. See the comment below for details. Bob is ready to produce your next album too! See Bktunes.com for more details on starting your project. Of course we would love it if you picked up a copy of our album too. The first link below has a 30 second low quality clip of each song. The Music on the CD is clear as a bell and of much higher quality. Now I need someone besides my Mom to buy one! Just kidding Mom. Bob Kinney has done a masterful job of mixing this album and there is some unforgettable Guitar Work from him too!

It's Been a long time coming, but we are getting close to wrapping up B.K Tunes First Album! This is the first draft on the CD/Album cover. I still need to find the mistakes and I need to add in the bass player (Bob) and the drummer on the jacket. The artists website is not up yet either, but getting there. Bob has learned so much in the past 18 months since this venture started. I am more excited than ever to start helping others to realize their musical dreams of getting their first song, album or next song or album produced. Visit Bktunes.com to find out more. Bottom line, right now we are running a tire kicker starter promo at $300 for the first song. RJ Benning.

Full day of mixing the album today. Bob really worked up a sweat. Hoping for the first single to be released before Christmas. Who is going to be next? This album will be in the can soon and Bob will be ready to help someone with a single or a bigger project. See bktunes.com . To get started we are practically giving it away, but pricing will go up once we get busier.

Yesterday, one of the songs me and Bob Kinney have been working on “Daddy’s Little Girl” was played as a music video at my Daughter’s wedding reception. This was the first time one of my songs has been played in public. I have kept this song a secret from my Daughter for over six months. It was so worth it to see her reaction. She is an amazing young woman who has found a man of great character to spend her life with. I am really encouraged by the positive reaction received by guests. Many asked me when the album will be released. I guess me and Bob better get busy.

It’s been awhile since me or Bob has posted. Sometimes life gets in the way of doing what we enjoy the most. Bob has been pretty busy with gigs during the summer months. We are hoping to get my 1st album “Runnaway Train” Out this winter too. Once it’s mixed and mastered we will be sharing it here and on all major music outlets.

I am excited to mention that we are moving our production studio into the Rio Vista Arts and music center. I am sure bob will be posting some pictures soon.

I am looking for 1 or 2 people who are ready to let us help turn your musical ideas into a fully scrubbed song. You can see more details at bktunes.com .

The Tire kicker deal is cheaper than booking a couple hours at a studio alone. It won’t stay this cheap forever. Message us here, call us or fill out the form on the site if you want to discuss next steps.

We can help you turn your musical ideas into musical masterpieces!
