“Lonnie Holley’s Tonky is a masterful history lesson for the world we deserve”
“Like all of Holley’s albums, Tonky is poetry set in motion through fluid, emotional music composed by Jackknife Lee. The artist’s language is rhythmic and his stories are concentrated, even when they span centuries and chronicle memoirs of slavery, abuse, ancestry and change.”
“A handful of all-star contributors turn the avant-garde singer’s seventh album into a big-hearted, transcendental testimonial.”
