Nashville singer-songwriter Ben Rector has just released an acoustic rendition of "I Like You" from his new album, The Walking In Between. The video was filmed by LR Baggs.
Ben's recently released independent album, The Walking In Between, made an impressive debut at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 album chart, No. 6 on Digital Albums chart, and No. 5 on the Independent Albums chart.
Produced in part by Jamie Kenney, Charlie Peacock, and partially self-produced, The Walking in Between is the first release on Rector’s own label, Aptly Named Recordings. The new set follows his previous two successful independent releases, 2010’s Into the Morning and 2011’s Something Like This, which have collectively sold more than 70,000 copies.
Both albums were iTunes leaders, with Something Like This reaching No. 1 on the digital retailer’s Singer/Songwriter Albums chart. Tracks from both albums appeared in multiple television shows, including One Tree Hill, Castle, The Neighbors and Pretty Little Liars.
