JOHN LEE HOOKER NEVER GET OUT OF THESE BLUES ALIVE 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION IMPORT LP

180 Gram Vinyl! Includes Guest Artists Van Morrison, Steve Miller, Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite!

Singer-guitarist John Lee Hooker (1917-2001) was one of the most successful blues artists of the second half of the 20th century, yet his hypnotic brand of blues was in many ways a throwback to earlier times, before rules of rhyme, meter, and chord structure became standardized. The Clarksdale, Mississippi-born musician burst on the national scene with his first record, "Boogie Chillen," which topped Billboard's Most-Played Juke Box Race Record chart in 1949. His unaccompanied performance, delivered in a declarative baritone over an unchanging one-chord guitar pattern and the steady stomp of his foot on a wooden board, was not only a bold announcement of youthful independence but marked the arrival of a unique musical stylist. His roots were the North Mississippi hill country, yet through the use of heavily amplified guitar, the Detroit-based bluesman was able to create the music relevant to mass audiences, both rural and urban, and later in his career, white as well as black.

The unparalleled John Lee Hooker recorded Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive within two days in 1971, working together with young Blues stars Van Morrison and Steve Miller, among others. John takes center stage delivering the hard-edged Blues he's known for, whilst giving his fellow musicians enough space to jam along. Stellar performances by Charlie Musselwhite on blues harp and Miller & Elvin Bishop on guitar top off the album. The title track is simply what Blues is all about: mournful, depressed and loose - epic stuff. Noteworthy is Hooker's laidback rendition of Van Morrison's "T.B. Sheets", of which the original is found on Morrison's debut album Blowin' Your Mind.

John Lee Hooker Burnin' (60th Anniversary) 180 GRAM LP Newly Remastered from Original Analog Tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio!

Featuring the Original Stereo Mix of the Album!

Pressed at Memphis Records Pressing!

Analog Planet Rated 9/10 Music, 9/10 Sonics!

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of John Lee Hooker's electrifying blues classic, Burnin', this 180-gram reissue offers newly remastered audio from the original analog tapes. Featuring a stereo mix of the album, as it was first released in 1962, the set includes the King of the Boogie's signature hit, "Boom Boom," and features members of the legendary Funk Brothers (Motown Records' celebrated house band). A tip-on jacket, which replicates Vee-Jay Records' original designs, rounds out the package.

I don't know about you, but when I buy a reissue, I like it to be as close to the original editions as possible. In that light, Craft Recordings has done an ace job on this reissue. John Lee Hooker's Burnin' is essential listening, and this new Craft Recordings reissue is probably the best way to enjoy it without breaking the bank for a rare mint original copy — if you could even find one. Boom boom boom boom!

-Mark Smotroff, Analog Planet, Music 9/10, Sound 9/10

Backing Hooker up were a gaggle of Detroit musicians who would later provide the foundation for many Motown hits: pianist Joe Hunter, bassist James Jamerson and drummer Benny Benjamin, among others. Recorded in a single day in the fall of 1961, the session has the smoldering heat that only the best electric blues can generate. The grooves on this album tend to be low and slow, ideal for slow grinds on the dance floor and the gentle drift of cigarette smoke toward a sodium light. Soulful and replete with aching desire, even when Hooker is complaining about his lady preferring processed hair and spending money at the drugstore.

John Lee Hooker ALONE VOLUME TWO 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

John Lee Hooker - Plays and Sings The Blues

Limited Edition

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl reissue of the classic Chess Records LP

High definition premium virgin vinyl pressing for super fidelity

Originally released in 1961. Singer-guitarist John Lee Hooker didn't spend much time with Chess, the giant of Chicago blues, although he didn't spend a lot of time with any label. Chess 1400 series was released under the alias John Lee Booker. Chess 1462 was also released on Von Battle's Gone label. By spring of 1951 the Chess and Bihari brothers (Modern) appear to have struck some sort of deal and Chess would never again use the Booker alias on Chess releases.

Hooker (1917-2001) was one of the most successful blues artists of the second half of the 20th century, yet his hypnotic brand of blues was in many ways a throwback to earlier times, before rules of rhyme, meter, and chord structure became standardized. The Clarksdale, Mississippi-born musician burst on the national scene with his first record, "Boogie Chillen," which topped Billboard's Most-Played Juke Box Race Record chart in 1949.

Like other recordings from Hooker's early studio sessions, the tunes featured here bristle with driving energy and ripple with the power of his shouted declarations. This is back porch music from the heart of the Delta, jolted to larger-than-life proportions by the electricity powering Hooker's guitar and by his own strong desire to quit sweeping factories and begin cleaning up on the charts. Although he often reworked themes by earlier bluesmen during this period, it was rare that Hooker outright covered another artist's material. So his riveting interpretations of Muddy Waters's "Please Don't Go" and Big Maceo Merriweather's "Worried Life Blues" peak this collection of solo turns.

	1.	The Journey
	2.	I Don't Want Your Money
	3.	Hey, Baby
	4.	Mad Man Blues
	5.	Bluebird
	6.	Worried Life Blues
	7.	Apologize
	8.	Lonely Boy Boogie

John Lee Hooker - Don't Turn Me from Your Door - LIMITED EDITION LP

John Lee Hooker was absolutely one of the most prolific and rhythmic pioneers of the blues scene for most of his life. Recording his first 78's in the 1940s and rapidly becoming one of the most in demand bluesmen of his time, Hooker was truly an American legend of our modern times.

With hundreds of songs and an untold amount of recordings and live performances throughout his lifetime, John Lee was also one of the most revered and interpreted songwriters. Major recording acts like Canned Heat, Johnny Winter, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, George Thorogood were all champions of this sorely missed icon.

Fifty years ago, ATCO Records released one of the most important albums of his career with Don't Turn Me From Your Door - John Lee Hooker Sings His Blues. The dozen gems that make up this rural blues event would go on to become some of his most famous tunes including the title track which was covered by numerous rock and blues artists over the years like Savoy Brown and the terrific blues wailing of "Drifting Blues," the rockin' "Real Real Gone" and of course another brilliant standard with "My Baby Don't Love Me."

The award winning giant of the blues continues with even more hard rockin' blues numbers like "Guitar Lovin' Man," "Wobbling Baby" and fan favorite "Stuttering Blues."
