{"product_id":"john-lee-hooker-never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive","title":"Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive","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).\nRecorded at Wally Heider Recording, San Francisco, California on September 28 \u0026amp; 29, 1971.\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.\"\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\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/16\/13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Lee Hooker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44584578023657,"sku":"U0N4SX-WCV5-00","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/john-lee-hooker-never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive_V9oH5.jpg?v=1749280209","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/john-lee-hooker-never-get-out-of-these-blues-alive","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
