Description
John Lee Hooker Jr. was born in Detroit â€œMotorâ€� City with Delta blues-filled blood running through his Motown veins. The son of the great John Lee Hooker, he was exposed the life of the blues from a young age. At only eight years old Jr. performed on Detroitâ€™s WJBK radio and knew from that moment that he wanted to follow the path of his father and become a world-class musician. Touring alongside Sr. throughout his teens, Jr. had already performed in prestigious venues such as Detroitâ€™s Fox Theatre with acclaimed musicians like Jimmy Reed by the time he was 16. In 1972, an eighteen year-old John Jr. was singing vocals
alongside his father for the recording of Hooker, Sr.â€™s album Live at Soledad Prison (ABC Records).
This is Jr. Hooker's third release originally released in September 2008 The 12-song album, was released domestically on Jr. Hookerâ€™s own Stepping Stone Records and in Europe on Jazzhaus Records, is his first effort to include only new and original tracks, a contrast to either of
his previous solo projects.
