coutstevo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) New album out on June 2nd, preorder up at ATO Records including a blue pressing /500. There's an interesting article about his inspiration on NPR. The single, which features Mavis Staples, is definitely different then what's on his first album. I really love that album and can't wait for some more singles from this one to be released.

cobannaboc Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Listened to the single on my way to work and proceeded to listen to his debut when I got to the office. Definitely in for this release. Vocals like Gary Clark and backing band like Alabama shakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Man, can't wait for it! I love his s/t record... Would love to get my hands on the blue one, but I stopped spending $37 for a record shipped to Germany... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not entirely sure how much I like "Witness" compared to his last LP. I'll probably wait to hear more of the album before I purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coutstevo Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm enjoying the new single. I just received an email from his mailing which says there are less than 50 copies available of the blue vinyl if anyone is fence sitting.
