When Benjamin Booker's self-titled debut landed in 2014, it arrived like a live wire, raw guitar attack and howling vocals rooted in the same sacred gutter where blues, punk, and rock and roll have always converged. Tokic's production lets the dirt stay in, which is exactly the point. Benjamin Booker is a young New Orleans based singer-songwriter. He is influenced by The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex. Benjamin Booker s debut self-titled album was produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff) Tracklist 1. Violent Shiver (2:47) 2. Always Waiting (2:20) 3.
