Get a Witness - Live

Kudos to Garnet Rogers for both the thought behind this release -- the picking, choosing and connection of the songs -- and the music in its totality. Plus, a tip of the hat for the iconoclasm displayed by the length of a number of the cuts here: 7:25 for "Beyond This Wall," "Summer Lighting" coming in at 8:04, with "Empty Glass close behind at 8:10. "Night Drive" runs 11:10. Any discussion of anti-corporate music requires the inclusion of Garnet Rogers.

"On a long awaited concert album, even his torch songs feel like tours de force, sung in a glorious bass that shimmers with danger and grace.."
