John Lee Hooker
Alone Vol 2
Originally released in 1995, 'Alone: Volume 2' is the second set of Hooker's 1970s solo concert at New York City's Hunter College - a brooding lesson in the 'Three Ds' of the blues - despair, death and desire. Hooker enjoys improvisation as much as a jazz musician and on these magnificent recordings he is at his most uninhibited taking one liberty after another.
