Benjamin Booker – Witness (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
New Orleans gave Benjamin Booker his raw edge, but *Witness* finds him reaching toward something more urgent and more vulnerable than the howling blues-punk of his debut. Pairing his Southern-soaked guitar attack with Mavis Staples, one of American music's great moral voices, on the title track wasn't a casual choice; it signals exactly the kind of reckoning this album represents.
Witness is the highly anticipated follow-up to Benjamin Booker's critically acclaimed self-titled debut album. The album's ten new, original tracks were all written by Booker, produced by Sam Cohen (Kevin Morby) and mixed by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes), and the title track features a guest vocal from Mavis Staples.
'I wanted to make a record about the things in my life I never wanted to talk about. It's a record about self-exploration, about learning to love yourself and opening yourself up to love others, about choosing the kind of person you want to be, about confronting death and appreciating life. Really it's about trying to take control from the perspective of someone who has come very close on several occasions to losing ALL control.' - Benjamin Booker
