Title: The Standard School Broadcast Recordings
Artist: John Lee Hooker
Label: BMG
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 4099964111897
Genre: Blues
Release Date: 2025-02-28
Number of Discs: 1
CD includes two bonus tracks. Once considered a long-lost studio recording from John Lee Hooker, The Standard School Broadcast Recordings is the first commercial release of a rare 1973 fully electric blues band recording. Performed direct-to-tape at Coast Recorders in San Francisco, the session captures Hooker at a tumultuous and deeply transformative time of his career, accompanied by his reliable standby rhythm section of bassist Gino Skaggs and drummer Ken Swank, plus Hooker's pianist son Robert. Syphoned off to feature only a brief interview and snippets of songs in it's initial scholastic run, this collection showcases the entire recording session, including expanded liner notes from the preeminent Hooker scholar Charles Shaar Murray. It's a wildly intimate and scorchingly beautiful collection of Hooker at his most raw - the blues as high art. CD contains two bonus tracks, "Sallie Mae," and "Instrumental."
Tracks:
1.1 Bad Boy
1.2 Hard Times
1.3 Rock with Me
1.4 Should Have Been Gone
1.5 I Hate the Day I Was Born
1.6 When My First Wife Left Me / Hobo Blues
1.7 Sally Mae
1.8 Coast Recorders Jam
