Derek Lassiter's Witness is a breath of fresh air for modern soul music: earthy, percussion-driven, spiritual and sensual. From the opening rocker "Hunger" to the jazzy workout "I'll Grow", Lassiter's poetic songs explore the deep roots of Africa and Africa-America, powered by the sound of the drum. Featuring special guest musicians Tom Freund (fresh off of a tour with his former songwriting partner, Ben Harper), Louisiana Blues legend Lady Mem'fis, and San Francisco guitar phenom Marc Weibel. Produced by pc muñoz.
