LoginIn The Groove Pick of the Week: ‘SAME KIND OF LONELY’ by Benjamin Booker
Absolutely obsessed with New Orleans musician Benjamin Booker’s song “SAME KIND OF LONELY.”
Talk about a wall of sound/distortion/guitars — only dropping out briefly for Booker to introduce himself in his signature raspy voice that’s sonically somewhere between blues crooner and old school crust punk with a background in hopping trains.
“SAME KIND OF LONELY” is one of the singles from “LOWER,” Booker’s first new album in seven years. It’s a major evolution from his stand-out single “Violent Shiver.” Instead of voice-and-guitar, this thing is layered and dosed with a sense of hip-hop rhythm courtesy of producer Kenny Segal, who Booker co-produced the album with.
Booker is known for his electrifying live shows. He’ll bring his tour to the Magic Bag on Wednesday, Feb. 19 (tickets here) with opening support from Segal. This is a show you don’t wanna miss!
