The son of the great John Lee Hooker, he was exposed the life of the blues from a young age. At only eight years old John Lee Hooker Jr. performed on Detroit’s WJBK radio and knew from that moment that he wanted to follow the path of his father and become a world-class musician. Touring alongside Sr. throughout his teens, John Lee Hooker Jr. had already performed in prestigious venues such as Detroit’s Fox Theatre with acclaimed musicians like Jimmy Reed by the time he was 16. In 1972, an eighteen year-old John Lee Hooker Jr. was singing vocals alongside his father for the recording of Hooker, Sr.’s album Live at Soledad Prison (ABC Records). The album was recorded on his last tour in Istanbul, Turkey. Originally released March 2010
