Bio
“Ben Bullington's work draws life-breath from the earth, rivers, sky and people of Montana,” says Rodney Crowell, the Nashville songwriting legend who plays guitar and performs a duet on Bullington’s second CD, White Sulphur Springs. “In the same way Guy Clark's jeweler's vision captures the eloquent essence of Texas culture without being regional, Ben frames the stillness of Montana winters, the strength of her women and the spiritual bankruptcy of no-account politicians with disarming ease....

“Helped out here by a cadre of talent (including Nashville songwriting legend Rodney Crowell) and some smoothly engineered sound, Bullington sings his way through his country and folk-styled compositions with the just-right dusty voice that comes with years of observation. Get a cozy table at the back of the room and let the singer spin out the visuals. The title cut is a gentle loper with cool lyrics; “The Engineer’s Dark Lover” has Bullington wondering, amidst silky viola, about the loneliness of a woman coping with her train-riding husband who’s never home. “Yankee Girl” is a pretty waltz with cool clarinet and mandolin (“Oh, Yankee Girl, I like your style; your razor wit and your brainy smile”); and “Two Headlights” ruminates on the discovery of a life-threatening disease, and taking a new look at life. Plenty more where these came from. Visit him at www.benbullington.com.”

Great summer so far! Ben played with his brother Andy and I at the Red Ants Pants Music Festival in his old hometown White Sulphur Springs. The show was great...people loved the set and he joined Micky and the Motorcars, Rodney Crowell, Martha Scanlan and the Trishas for an acoustic extended encore after the power went out!
In Challis, Idaho last ...
