John Lee Hooker reissues abound, as might be expected of a singer and guitarist who's recorded hundreds of songs for countless labels since the late '40s. What makes the 20 tracks on Everybody's Blues different from the mountain of other Hooker material available is the fact that seven of them are newly issued, and most were done in the studio with Hooker wailing and accompanying himself on guitar minus any backing chorus or production armada. Even the cuts with a supporting combo are animated and loose, with the vocal trademarks that are now established Hooker cliches sounding fresh and genuine. --Ron Wynn, AllMusic (3/5 stars)

BILLY LARKIN & THE DELEGATES - Hole In The Wall ’65
http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/5623600/file.html
Organist Billy Larkin and The Delegates immediately came to the attention of the Los Angeles jazz audience when their first record was released, but they also picked up a larger audience when the teenagers discovered they could dance to it. Just as Ramsey Lewis, they had an appeal that far exceeded just the jazz listener. Basically a jazz trio with heavy emphasis on the blues, Billy Larkin and The Delegates was a versatile and dynamic group that reached into all corners of music to come up with a style and an approach that is both fresh and distinctive.

Thanks for this out-of-the-way Hooker --I'm a bit fed up with continuous reissues of the same tracks--, sounds good too. (Thx also to Gyro for the pleasant surprise in form of bonus!).
Cheers Daniel, from Spain.

John Lee sure looks suave in that picture! Thanks for this!
Johnny Kinkdom sez: Thanks Toxxy, not just for this collection of the Hook, but for all your posts. It took me awhile, but I started playing some of the Slade discs I didn't already own. So happy!
Thanks
