Ben with Cross Canadian
Ragweed!
The boys from OK join Ben onstage at Billy Bobs! Ben's
last visit to Billy Bob's was awesome! He and his band opened for
Pat Benatar, then had the crowd packed around the stage for his last
set. As the band started "Seventeen", the members of Cross Canadian
Ragweed jumped onstage to join Ben singing their hit. It was a magical
moment as Cody and crew were instantly recognized by the crowd. CCR
stayed onstage to sing 3 more numbers. A great ending to an amazing
night of music! |
"I
came, I boogied, ... I'll be back."
---- Tye at Horseman, Ft.Worth
" The Horseman was packed to start with due to a Marlboro auction
promotion. Let's just say there were a few smokers in the house. The lights
came up, and the tobacco haze created a great "fog" effect as Ben and
his fantastic band launched into their trademark opener, Vince Gill's
"Straight from the Heart". From that point on, the evening belonged to
Ben and his band as the entire place seemed to be dancing. Ben was in
rare form that night, and had a constant stream of admirers at the edge
of the stage. It was a great night to be alive, and a smoker in Texas!
I will definitely return to the Horseman in January for Ben's CD release
party! Ray I had never been to the Horseman before, and was amazed at
how early the crowd arrived. We thought we would be able to get a good
seat, but the front section was already full. We managed to find an area
along the rail of the dance floor, and got a great view of both the band
and the crowd. Ben knows how to work a crowd, and everyone really responded
as he and his band played all the current country hits plus his originals."

"Ben Floor
and Charlie Daniels in the same night - country never rocked so good!"
-- Troy
"I had never seen Ben before, and I was totally impressed with
his passion and energy. His band is the best I have seen locally. This
unit rocked from start to finish with outstanding musicianship, and
an energy that matched Ben's. I am now a fan, and will follow Ben and
his band everywhere."
--- Lynn
"Ben had to follow up local favorites Cross Canadian Ragweed,
who had been at the Spur the night before. The crowd still had enough
energy to pack the dance floor the second Ben and his band started playing.
From the first note, the dance floor was filled! And of course, the
area around the stage was a popular place for everyone to get a closeup
view of Ben and the band. James, the club DJ was seated on the edge
of the stage doing his usual great job of getting fans up onstage. It
became an all-out party as more and more female fans began to flood
onstage. High points of the show included energetic versions of Dwight
Yoakum's "Long White Cadillac", the Kentucky Headhunters "Blue Moon
of Kentucky", Keith Urban's "Somebody Like You", and the Rolling Stones
"Honky Tonk Woman"... There's always something special about a Ben Floor
show at the Spur. My girls and I will definitely be there January 24th
and 25th!"
