“Louisiana singer/songwriter Benjy Davis formed the Benjy Davis Project as a folk-rock duo in Baton Rouge in 2001. Originally, the group members were Davis and drummer Mic Capdevielle. Eventually, the outfit expanded into a six-piece with the addition of Anthony Rushing (violin, mandolin, vocals), Jonathan Lawhun (guitar, banjo), Brett Bolden (bass) (later replaced by Matt Rusnak), and Michael Galasso (harmonica, keyboards, vocals). The group self-released its first album, More Than Local (April 20, 2002), and an EP, The Practice Sessions (May 4, 2004). Bogalusa issued their second full-length album, The Angie House, on September 27, 2005, and Real Records stepped in to handle their third, Dust, which appeared on September 18, 2007.

Released ten months after Lost Souls Like Us, this acoustic album features stripped-down versions of four songs from that record, as well as six other fan favorites from the Benjy Davis catalog. Davis has always favored an organic pop sound, with melodies that take their cues from campfire folk music and arrangements that rely heavily on the acoustic guitar. Accordingly, the songs on Sincerely rarely stray all that far from their original versions, and the absence of electric guitar is often the only difference between these tunes and their amplified source material. It’s nice to hear Johnny Pisano pluck away at the upright bass, though, and the inclusion of the affable title trick -- whose availability was previously restricted to the Amazon.com release of Lost Souls Like Us -- makes Sincerely an attractive package for fans. - AllMusicGuide”
