    If you think about it, this guy was revolutionary for the time! 13 yrs ago already, and I still come back to listen to this classic rendition! Thank you Ben!

    Real and raw. No glitz and glamor here. This man sings and entertains because that is what he loves to do. You can't hold back the ocean and you can't stop this soul from singing to his heart's content. We all should be so free to do what we really want.

    i don't understand HOW anyone couldn't love this. it's so original, creative, and beautiful. guess people don't know how to appreciate real music anymore. this video is every reason i love Ben Rector more than 99% of any other artists out there.

    My gosh! You are just simply amazing! I LOVED watching you at my church yesterday. The "cheese" song made my day even more special:) I honestly think I could listen to you sing a million times and I would never get tired of your singing. You are most certainly gifted and God has blessed you tremendously! I'd love to see you again!
    -love, your fellow Christian.
