Osagyefo Sekou went back to his Southern home searching for his family\\u2019s musical roots in the deep Arkansas blues and gospel traditions. Produced by six-time Grammy nominated Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, featuring Luther\\u2019s brother Cody Dickinson, Rev. Sekou\\u2019s album is a new vision for what Southern blues and rock can mean today. In Times Like These is drenched with the sweat and tears of the Mississippi River, the great tributary that ties so much of the South together. The album\\u2019s sonic landscape captures the toil of Southern field hands, the guttural cry of chain gangs, the vibrancy of contemporary street protest, backwoods juke joints, and shotgun churches\\u2014all saturated with Pentecostal sacred steel and soul legacy. Rev. Sekou\\u2019s blues lineage runs deep. Rev. Sekou's biological grandfather, Richard Braselman played with legends like Louis Jordan, Albert King, and B.B. King. The grandfather, Rev. James Thomas, who raised Sekou, was an ordained Elder in the Church of God in Christ and a railroad union organizer. Carrying the legacy of his grandfathers, Rev. Sekou is a Pentecostal bluesman. During the recording of In Times Like These, Rev. Sekou made a pilgrimage home to Zent, Arkansas and stood at his beloved grandparents gravesite.\u003cp\u003eResist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Times Like These\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurnin' and Lootin'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Who Believe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLord, I am Running (99 Won't Do) - featuring Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuddy and Rough (Woyaya)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Devil Finds Work\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Time Religion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the Spirit Says Move\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoving You is Killing Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill to Win\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProblems\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55162739720577,"sku":"658765","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51BEkW2jvgL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767991439","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/658765","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
