Benjamin Booker is a New Orleans based singer-songwriter, influenced by The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex. His self-titled debut album has earned raves from SPIN (“a contender for rock record of the year”), GQ (“The suavest kid in Southern Rock”), Rolling Stone (“a fierce debut”), ELLE (“The god we’ve been waiting for”) and Vice (“a layer cake of guitar shredding, incorporating Dinosaur Jr. quality riffs with an insistent, punk-like forward motion”).
