Visit Rolling Stone this morning to hear Benjamin Booker and his band let loose on "Chippewa" during his Live at Third Man Records set last September, then head on over to thirdmanstore.com and pre-order the LP, because you just can't get enough.
Here's what Booker has to say about the record...
"This record is the result of a year on the road. Its the best nights of my life and nights I would give anything to take back. It's sleeping in parking lots and sleeping with people for beds. It's eating bad food with good folks. It's makeups and breakups. It's missing home and never wanting to go back.
Somehow I'm still here. Somehow the boys and I managed to keep things going. We learned from each other. We grew tighter as a band. The songs changed and on the night of September 24th we stepped into that building in Nashville to capture that.
Thank you Mr. White and everyone at Third Man Records for welcoming me into your home and giving me a chance to share something I'm proud of, the live show." — Benjamin Booker
We're proud too.
Man I can’t wait! I love this guy
Great show that led me to hunt for more BB music.
Looking forward to the live album.
Another must have… i really need a ‘third’ job!
Will we be able to pick up our records if we purchased one right after this show?
I’d like to add my thanks to Benjamin’s for welcoming him and his bandmates into the TMR home and introducing him to us fans. His cover of Furry Lewis was a treat and he’s an absolute sweetheart of a guy. I’m really looking forward to watching and listening to his progress. Off to pre-order…
Love Booker. I saw him open at the Milwaukee show. Fantastic.
