Apr 15, 2025Holley finds the direct line between his own, relatively recent suffering and the longer narrative of black people in America. Funky, percussion driven “We Was Kings in the Jungle, Slaves in the Field,” is one of the album’s best cuts, rumbling forward on syncopated drumming, fired by blares of brass and winds, lit by ghostly patterns of marimba.

Mar 28, 2025What’s remarkable is how wide a net Holley and Lee cast. Maybe it’s a sign of his broad appeal or the importance of the work he’s creating, but there’s something like fellowship in these songs, a sense of remembering together.

Mar 25, 2025Tonky, like all of Holley’s albums, is poetry set in motion through fluid, emotional and inventive music composed by Jackknife Lee. His language is rhythmic and his stories are concentrated, even as they span centuries.
