    I've listened to this album more than any other in 2017. Love Booker's emotion and urgency. The album is very diverse, and I think he pulls off all the genres he tackles in interesting ways.

    It unveils itself as quick as a flash, but when taken in individual portions, Witness has an unforeseen succinctness that provides some stability to his otherwise nervous excitement.

    Like his labelmates in Alabama Shakes, Booker takes inspiration from the past to make huge artistic leaps forward. [No. 143, p.55]

    [A] fine, part-politicised follow-up. [Aug 2017, p.96]
