Details

John Lee Hooker was already being hailed as a living legend in the '60s, but by the time of this 1986 release he was a larger-than-life figure, his iconic stature unquestioned. From his earliest collaborations with Canned Heat and on through the '70s and '80s, the rock world never got tired of trying to endear Hooker to a crossover audience.

Jealous is an attempt to adapt Hooker's lonesome blues to full-band arrangements. Unlike his band recordings of the '50s, though, there's a decided rock edge to his accompaniment here, providing a sharp contrast to the down-home, earthy sound of Hooker's voice and guitar. Organ, electric guitar, and a forceful rhythm section baked in reverb back Hooker on Jealous. Instead of overpowering Hooker, though, these new arrangements place the bluesman on a sonic pedestal, from which he sounds like the voice of God dispensing wisdom through the blues.

Since he won a Grammy Award for 1989's The Healer, John Lee Hooker, now 79 years old, has been an unusually hot property. He has played with the likes of Rolling Stones, Branford Marsalis and B.B. King. Don't Look Back finds the party continuing, with old friend/disciple Van Morrison, who guested on 1995's Chill Out, now in the producer's seat.

Apart from a raucous reading of the old Hooker standard "Dimples," which features backing from Los Lobos, Don't Look Back leans towards varying shades of slow blues. Emotion is stressed over barn-burning instrumental heroics, particularly on the songs that ride along on Charles Brown's melancholic piano playing. Producer Morrison's duets with his idol on "Travellin' Blues" and Morrison's "The Healing Game" bring out the best in both legends.

One of a series of superb John Lee Hooker albums recorded in the '90s, Chill Out clearly shows that he remains at the top of his game. The opening (and title) track features guitar god and long time Hooker fan Carlos Santana (with his band). Although quite slick sounding, Santana's Latin funk grooves and typically blistering solo fit surprisingly well with John Lee's gutbucket vocals--a testament to the aging blues man's incredible versatility. Roy Rogers (the blues guy, not the cowboy fast food mogul) reveals himself as an adept and sensitive producer and also adds some very tasty slide guitar on four tunes. Whether with a full band or all alone, John Lee Hooker's talent burns brightly throughout the album.

Details

Lady In Satin (1958) is Billie’s penultimate album completed in her lifetime.

Produced by Irving Townsend, and engineered by Fred Plaut, its sound is sensuous, rich and swelling with emotion – though much criticized by Lady’s fans who had grown to enjoy her recordings with deft jazz combos earlier in the decade.

The song material for Lady in Satin derived from the Great American Songbook, but was unlike the bulk of Holiday’s recordings. This time she came with the backdrop of full orchestral arrangements, something she’d not tried since her Decca years in the 1940’s when recording fidelity was yet to deliver the aching strings and solemn horn sections that cradle and warm Billie’s vocal delivery on “Satin”. She wanted to record in the contemporary manner of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald on her famous Verve Songbook series. She succeeded and perhaps surpassed.

Lady In Satin was inducted into the GRAMMY® Hall of Fame in 2000.

Personnel: Billie Holiday vocal, Ray Ellis arranger and conductor, George Ockner violin and concertmaster, David Soyer cello, Janet Putnam harp, Danny Bank flute, Phil Bodner flute, Romeo Penque flute, Mel Davis trumpet, J.J. Johnson trombone, Urbie Green trombone, Tom Mitchell trombone, Mal Waldron piano, Barry Galbraith guitar, Milt Hinton bass, Osie Johnson drums, Elise Bretton & Miriam Workman, backing vocals.
