The Standard School Broadcast Recordings

Listen to “Rock With Me,” an infectious groove that lifts the spirit. This track is part of Hooker’s newly unearthed 1973 recordings for THE STANDARD SCHOOL BROADCAST, set to release on February 28th. The album is an evocative collection of Blues brilliance, recorded for an educational broadcast, revealing John Lee Hooker at his most raw and transcendent. This collection captures Hooker and a hand-picked trio of musicians at their most intimate and inspired. Decades later, the full session has been unearthed, offering fans an unparalleled glimpse into the artistry of one of the Blues’ greatest pioneers. During the original recording session, Hooker, bassist Gino Skaggs, and his son Robert Hooker recorded eight tracks, only three of which were ever broadcast. The remaining five tracks have remained unheard - until now. The set features reimagined versions of Hooker classics like “Sally Mae” and “Hard Times,” alongside spontaneous creations and medleys that exemplify his unique approach to storytelling through song.
