Coke Bottle Green. Ben Arnold returns with XI, a dynamic roots-rock album blending personal insight, socio-political themes, and genre-blurring songwriting. A veteran of the American touring circuit, Arnold brings decades of experience to this new chapter, with songs written in Philadelphia and recorded in California with producer Shane Smith (Los Lobos). XI is a bold reminder of his place in the lineage of independent songwriters.
