Ever since breaking out of the alternative music scene with his piano, his band Ben Folds Five and the wildly popular hits "Underground" in 1995 and "Brick" in 1997, followed by a successful solo career, Ben Folds has maintained a strong presence as a well respected, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter of his era. With over 3 million units sold to date over his 15 year recording career, Ben Folds' wry, wise and infectiously melodic keyboard-centric storytelling style continues to delight his fervent fan base worldwide. Digging through his endless archive of material, Ben has compiled "The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective (1995-2011)." This is the first U.S. comprehensive compilation spanning the entire professional recording career of Ben Folds to date, including a brand new track with Ben Folds Five.
