Ben Vaughn is an American musician, music producer and a longtime Rambler (automobile) enthusiast. Born in Collingswood, New Jersey, Vaughn's interest in music began at age 6 when his uncle gave him a Duane Eddy record. The "Ben Vaughn Combo" released two albums and toured the US from 1983 to 1988. Vaughn then had a solo career, 1988-1994, recording four albums and touring Europe and the United States. As a musician, he is perhaps best known for his "Rambler '65" album recorded entirely in his car. As a producer, Vaughn made albums for artists such as Charlie Feathers and Los Straitjackets. In 1996, Vaughn produced Ween's cult classic, a ten track exploration of country music - 12 Golden Country Greats

12 Golden Country Greats is Ween's fifth album, and third for Elektra Records.This album marked the first time Ween limited themselves to a specific genre of music... Musically, 12 Golden Country Greats was, more or less, classic country sounds. Ween and Vaughn went so far as to enlist the services of veteran Nashville session musicians. However, while even the vocal performances where an exquisite mimic of country singing, the album's lyrics were decidedly twisted.
Rambler was an automobile brand name used by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company between 1900 and 1914, then by its successor, Nash Motors from 1950 to 1954, and finally by Nash's successor, American Motors Corporation from 1954 to 1969...

The G.I., Alex Briley also sings the lead for one song, and the re-release in 1999 featured the bonus track America with Miles J. Davis singing a Big Star song.
