Ben Folds next album nearly complete

With the finishing touches in place, Epic Records recording artist Ben Folds will release the highly anticipated Songs For Silverman on April 26.

The self-produced follow-up to his solo debut Rockin' the Suburbs finds Folds working with a band for the first time since making his mark as the leader of the trio Ben Folds Five.

After completing Rockin' the Suburbs and an unprecedented series of EP's â€" Speed Graphic, Sunny 16 and Super D â€" Folds returned to the studio in early 2004 to record his next solo project. With this new album complete, Folds' boundless creativity summoned him back to the studio to enhance it â€" this time with bassist Jared Reynolds and drummer Lindsay Jamieson. In the fall of 2004, during a six week recording session in Nashville, at the same RCA Studio once used by Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins, the trio re-recorded the songs from Folds' unreleased solo album along with two new songs, completing the 11-song collection on Songs For Silverman.

Track listing is as follows:

1. Bastard - 2. You To Thanks - 3. Jesusland - 4. Landed - 5. Gracie - 6. Trusted - 7. Give Judy My Notice - 8. Late - 9. Sentimental Guy - 10. Time - 11. Prison Food
