唱作历史 

一个密西西比(One Mississippi)

他的处女作, 一个密西西比(One Mississippi), 于1996年在美国的维珍唱片发布。在这张专辑里 Jason Falkner 提供了很多支持,但因为销量不佳,所以后来布伦丹被维珍唱片公司所放弃。

拉帕尔克(Lapalco)

紧接着在2002年,他发布了这张专辑。这一次的唱片仍然没有如预想一样畅销,却也也得到了相比“一个密西西比”在各国家版本总和的三倍的销售量。   [citation needed]

 专辑内的歌曲‘Good To Me’和‘Tiny Spark’分别被英国电视剧 Teachers 选作第三季和第四季的背景音乐,并且收录到了官方专辑中。这首歌也被刻录到了白线条乐团的单曲专辑 Seven Nation Army的B面上去。并且电影情场算死草 (Along Came Polly) 和World's Greatest Dad也使用了一部分他的歌曲用作背景音乐。[citation needed]

 在布伦丹为这张专辑巡演的时候,曾驻足于英国的里丁&利兹音乐节 (Reading and Leeds Festivals)表演,并且在最后演唱了‘Jet Lag’一曲。这首歌曲与其他五首单曲一起发布在2003年拉帕尔克的再版中。

 2003年的再版中,布伦丹还发布了歌曲‘Metarie’,由后来的乐队The Well Fed Boys演奏,这是布伦丹第一次发布完全由其他人写得歌曲。这意味着在过去他从未发表过非他本人撰写的歌曲。

爱情的多选一 (The Alternative to Love)

本森在2005年的时候发布了这张专辑,爱情的多选 一(The Alternative to Love)。并且与他新的合作乐队The Stiff Tissues同时在美国、英国和欧洲地区进行了巡演。他以‘Spit It Out’得到了英国专辑排行榜第75名的成绩,同时为他赚来了一些名气。‘Cold Hands Warm Heart’和‘What I'm Looking For’在多个商业节目和电视剧中出现。

健谈者 (The Raconteurs) 

他是乐队 The Raconteurs 的一员,队员包括杰克·怀特(Jack White)、杰克·劳伦斯(Jack Lawrence) 和派翠克·基勒(Patrick Keeler)。他和怀特一起谱写曲子,2006年时在美国以健谈者乐队的名义发表了专辑Broken Boy Soldiers。2008年3月发表第二张专辑 Consolers of the Lonely。本森同时也是The Greenhornes、The Nice Device、The Mood Elevator (The Well Fed Boys的另外一个名字)、Whirlwind Heat和the Stiff Tissues的制作人。

我熟悉的老朋友(My Old, Familiar Friend)

本森的第四张专辑我熟悉的老朋友(My Old, Familiar Friend)最早在2007年的3月发表在他的个人部落格里。 "Feel Like Taking You Home"是第一首demo,紧接着 "Forget", "Poised And Ready" and "Go Nowhere" 也进行了网络发表。不久之后他又发表了包括"Lesson Learned", "Eyes On the Horizon",和"Untitled"这些专辑。曾和他的健谈者乐队一起巡演的键盘手Dean Fertita,Queens of the Stone Age 和 The Dead Weather, 在这些demo里面担任键盘乐器,其余的部分全部由本森自己完成演奏。[citation needed]

什么鬼世界 (What Kind Of World)

什么鬼世界 (What Kind Of World)由雷迪唱片在美国发行,Lojinx唱片在欧洲发行。这张全部的音乐部分都是在纳什维尔的“欢迎来到1979”工作室完成的。这张专辑经发表一周内就成为了英国独立音乐专辑榜排行第7。

你若曾正确 (You Were Right)

你若曾正确(You Were Right) 是他第六张工作室专辑,发表于2013年11月。美国版在布伦丹自己的商标雷迪唱片(Readymade Records)下,欧洲版则在Lojinx唱片,加拿大版在 Dine Alone唱片公司。并成为了雷迪唱片的月季度最佳单曲。

雷迪唱片 (Readymade Records) 

雷迪唱片(Readymade Records)于2012年由两个最初的唱作人布伦丹·本森和扬·海恩斯(Young Hines)创立。  并于2012年4月21日和4月10日在美国发表了本森的个人专辑什么鬼世界 (What Kind Of World)和杨海恩斯的专辑还我自由(Give Me My Change)。同月的30日在英国发表。.[2]
