THIS ALBUM ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1964 ON VEE JAY RECORDS AS VEE-JAY #1006, IS TITLED TO SOUND LIKE A LIVE RECORDING BUT IT ISN’T…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. THE ALBUM CONSISTS OF JOHN LEE HOOKER SINGING THE TUNES WRITTEN BY JOHN LEE HOOKER. NO ONE ELSE IS PART OF THE MESSAGE. A VERY GOOD ALBUM EVEN THOUGH THE MUSIC IS NOT AS RAW AS WE WOULD EXPECT FROM JOHN LEE. V.GOOD ****

TRACK LISTING: I’m Leaving / Love Is A Burning Thing / Birmingham Blues / I Want To Shout / Don’t Look Back / I Want To Hug You / Poor Me / I Want To Ramble / Half A Stranger / My Grinding Mill / Bottle Up And Go / One Way Ticket.
