Elwood’s Blues Breaker - Benjamin Booker “Always Waiting”
Benjamin Booker is a young New Orleans based singer-songwriter. And now he has a CD out. Listen to his ragged voice… he sounds a lot older than his 22 years. Come to think of it, his songs do too. And his guitar playing.
Benjamin Booker cites his influences as The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson, and T. Rex. Also, I would say, White Stripes, the Strokes, Kings of Leon, and beneath it all, the soul baring blues. Raw, smart, and tortured, the way we like it.
