Rykodisc sign Jay Bennett...

Singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett who was once the driving force behind the twice Grammy-nominated band Wilco, has signed a new record deal with Rykodisc.

His sound is said to be a cross between Elvis Costello mixed with Tom Waits, with a hint of The Replacements and Nick Lowe.

Rykodisc will release his latest offering entitled 'The Magnificent Defeat' on September 26th, 2006.

Rykodisc is thrilled to announce the signing of songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett. His long-anticipated solo opus "The Magnificent Defeat" is set for release this September.

This marks the first artist signing for Rykodisc as a Warner Music Group company. Jay was attracted to Rykodisc, and furthermore to WMG's "independent" mentality because of its continued commitment and dedication to developing artists. Jay commented, "We love the small label focus and attention that Rykodisc can give us."
