Ben Folds
Over the last 15 years, Ben Folds’ first-class melodic gifts,
irony-laced lyrics, and punk-rock tendency to play piano as if it were
a contact sport have earned the North Carolina native a legion of devoted
fans of all ages.
Folds has been going pretty much non-stop since the 2001 release of his
debut solo album Rockin’ the Suburbs, which has sold more than half
a million copies worldwide. In short order, Folds has released a live
album (2002’s aptly titled Ben Folds Live) and a pioneering series
of three Internet-only digital EP’s: Speed Graphic (which topped
the Billboard Internet Album, iTunes, and Soundscan Downloadable Tracks
charts), Sunny 16, and Super D in 2003-2004; co-wrote and produced William
Shatner’s 2004 solo album Has Been; released 2005’s pensive
Songs for Silverman (which featured the Adult Top 40 hit “Landed”);
contributed three original songs to the soundtrack for the 2006 film Over
the Hedge; and produced a forthcoming solo album by Dresden Dolls frontwoman.
Amanda Palmer.
In 2006, Folds released Supersunnyspeedgraphic, The LP — a compilation
of tracks from the Internet-only EP’s and B-sides, including an
inspired cover of Dr. Dre’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit,”
which climbed to No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has now sold 132,000
digital singles at iTunes. “It’s my biggest hit,” jokes
Folds.
