Hooker John Lee And Friends - House Of Blues

Facts A rich combination of blues talent and spice assembled in West Hollywood in June 1995 at the House of Blues for a spectacular display of collaborations with equally impressive names from the blues scene. John Lee Hooker's own daughter Zakiya opened the event backed by the Duke Robillard Band. Added to the day's event was a prized collection of genial giants in Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Lazy Lester and, of course, the boom boom blues of the legendary John Lee Hooker. Robillard's band offered a prominent backing for most of the guests and sealed the day with Cooder's subliminal workout alongside Hooker for his signature R&B romp, Boom Boom. The entire WLUP-FM broadcast of this performance, a gathering of genial blues giants and friends of John Lee Hooker, is presented here in professionally remastered sound with background liners and rare archival photos.
