VEEJAY 1043LP
|
"A great album for the king of the endless boogie (originally released in 1962 on the Vee-Jay label). John lee Hooker was the genuine blues superstar whose droning and hypnotic one-chord grooves are at once both ultra-primitive and timeless. Contains the storming 'Boom Boom' (an infectious r&b dance number that cracked the pop airwaves)." Exact repro reissue.

VEEJAY 3007LP
|
Exact repro, originally released in 1960. "The music is good solid hard bop that finds Lee Morgan (already a veteran at age 21) coming out of the Clifford Brown tradition to display his own rapidly developing style. Matched with Clifford Jordan on tenor, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Blakey, Morgan's album could pass for a Jazz Messengers set." --All Music Guide

VEEJAY 1058LP
|
"Jumping into the R&B and soul explosions of the early '60s -- or at least dipping his toe into them -- he's backed here by the Vandellas, no less, on all but one of the 11 songs here. And coupled with an uncredited band that includes organ accompaniment, among other attributes that one doesn't usually associate with Hooker, he pulls it off. Indeed, he manages to straddle blues and soul far better than, say, Muddy Waters did during this same period; he's still a little too intense for the more pop side of the field, but he's also stretching the appeal of the blues with every nuance on this record, and there are a few cuts here, such as 'Send Me Your Pillow' that would have fit on any of Hooker's far more traditional-sounding blues releases; and others, such as 'She Shot Me Down' (a rewrite of 'Boom Boom'), that are so close to his well-known standard repertory that they slip right into his output without explanation." --All Music Guide

VEEJAY 1066LP
|
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1964. Electric guitar. Occasional background singers. Not a live album. From the back cover: "It would be erroneous and misleading to suggest that the Negro no longer knows the blues. He does; but today, he normally takes a more subtle route to self expression than singing. He registers his protest in a more universal language... Only the John Lee Hookers of the profession remain to remind us of from whence all the came -- raw, unbridled, painful misery."

Exact repro reissue of blues legend Jimmy Reed's 1962 album. Recorded live and unrehearsed in the studio. The seemingly impromptu songs and (probably drunken) banter makes for an essential audio vérité-style document of the groovemaster.

VEEJAY 1007LP
|
Exact repro reissue of John Lee Hooker's 1959 debut. Featuring four tracks -- "I'm In The Mood," "Boogie Chillun," "Hobo Blues" and "Crawlin' King Snake" -- Hooker played by himself with one microphone recording simply his guitar and foot tapping out the rhythm. True foot-stompin' blues of the highest order. Hooker's joined by an additional rhythm guitar, string bass and drums on the rest of the album.

Exact repro reissue of this 1959 album from Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley accompanist Wynton Kelly. Featuring Philly Joe Jones (drums), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor), Paul Chambers (bass) and Kelly (piano). "...a fine, advanced hard bop date. There are four originals (all virtually forgotten decades later) by Kelly, Shorter and Morgan but it is the lone standard, a playful version of 'June Night' (which has some puckish Morgan trumpet), that is the standout." -- All Music
