{"product_id":"never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive-180-gram-vinyl-import","title":"Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive (180 Gram Vinyl) [Import] |","description":"Personnel: John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison (vocals, guitar); Luther Tucker, Ray McCarty, Paul Wood (guitar); Benny Rowe, Elvin Bishop (slide guitar); Michael White (violin); Charlie Musselwhite (harmonica); Mark Naftalin (piano); Robert Hooker (electric piano, organ, keyboards); Steven Miller (organ); Cliff Coultier (electric piano); Gino Skaggs, John Kahn, Mel Brown (bass); Ron Beck, Chuck Crimelli, Ken Swank (drums).\r\nRecorded at Wally Heider Recording, San Francisco, California on September 28 \u0026amp; 29, 1971.\r\nThis 1971 release finds Hooker in superb, well-seasoned form. Old-school fans will be pleased to note that, even as the production on Hooker's albums was improving throughout the '70s, there was never any dilution of his hard-core traditional blues aesthetic. NEVER GET OUT OF THESE BLUES ALIVE is no exception, with slow, heavy-lidded blues shuffles like \"Country Boy\" fitted seamlessly beside such harder-driving jams as \"Boogie With The Hook.\"\r\nA full electric band, fleshed out on a few tracks with piano, violin, organ, and slide guitar, adds textures that are at once swirling and down-home. Hooker is joined by guests as distinguished as Elvin Bishop, mouthharp master Charlie Musselwhite, and--surprise!--Van Morrison, with whom Hooker duets on the title track. Overall, NEVER is a strong addition to the Hooker catalog.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: POP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/16\/13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49255346340082,"sku":"HOONKV-P713-NE","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/john-lee-hooker-never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive-180-gram-vinyl-import_33E28_8caf37ec-b3a7-4970-b13e-89cd745d6585.jpg?v=1779650849","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive-180-gram-vinyl-import","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
