The latest single from rising Americana artist Benson, “Lover of the Road”, features a guest vocal performance by Woody Platt—marking a poignant collaboration between two voices known for blending authenticity, warmth, and grit.
Rooted in acoustic storytelling, the track explores the emotional tension between the pull of the open road and the weight of connection left behind. The pairing of Platt’s rich baritone with Benson’s raw delivery gives the song a timeless quality—grounded, lonesome, and deeply human.
“We try to match songs with the right voices,” Benson said in a recent interview with World Music Central, “and Woody was a natural fit for this one.”
Kristin Benson, co-writer and longtime collaborator, echoed that feeling:
“His vocal captures that haunting, nagging feeling of trying to maintain relationships while living life on the road.”
For Platt, the decision to join the track was instinctive.
“This song really hit home for me,” he shared. “There’s a quiet heartbreak in it that’s familiar to anyone who’s spent time between towns.”
“Lover of the Road” is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
