Description
The clipped drum fill before the first chorus of Right On You tells you Benjamin Booker is aiming bigger and brighter this time. Benjamin Booker’s Witness leans into ragged blues and winds it through gospel fire, with Mavis Staples answering his plea on the title track in a fierce call-and-response. Believe rides a warm organ bed and a cracked, hopeful vocal, while The Slow Drag Under slinks on a bassline that keeps the tension simmering.
If ordering from home suits, you can buy Benjamin Booker records online with us. This pressing gives the arrangements room to breathe; backing vocals and organ sit in real space, and the low end sits deeper without blurring the guitars. It’s a smart shelf-mate for Alabama Shakes, but Booker’s writing cuts a little leaner, his solos scraping at the edges rather than polishing them.
Put it on for a late kitchen clean or a small backyard gather and you’ll hear the momentum build track by track, his rasp holding focus even when the band kicks harder. The title cut is the keeper for most, yet the way Believe opens up halfway through is what keeps me coming back. It feels like a document of an artist pushing past the garage tag toward something more lasting.
Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
