1974 LP Vee-Jay Dynasty LP 1066
2001 CD Collectables - COL-CD-7105

Recorded in two sessions in 1963 in Chicago.

This reissue of Vee Jay's 1964 album is not a live LP, as its title - which tries to revive the coffee house blues tradition, a scene Hooker was into at the time of release - would suggest.
Here are 12 excellent electric tunes from this Mississippi legend giving Hooker's classic raw sound a more modern vibe.



Vee Jay's 1964 album John Lee Hooker on Campus is titled to sound like a live recording but it isn't. As part of the Collectables Vee Jay reissue campaign, these 12 tracks originally tried to capitalize on Hooker's emergence on the coffeehouse/college tours he was involved in at the time. This is an electric album that contains excellent material from Hooker, even though the occasional background singers get in the way, attempting to modernize his gritty blues with a smoother soul sound. All of the Vee Jay reissues of John Lee Hooker material are worth having and are budget priced as a bonus.
