John lee hooker, Kabuki Wuki. 1973

with the heatwave beginning I really feel for some smooth and cool Blues and I got the Right record for that.

This Album can look weird at first sight, but if you recognize the name on it, you know that where good 
for a ride. I found this Album at my local record store, a kind of thrift store for music and all geeky stuff in town, called Kromatik Music. Apparently that I got lucky with this one, I'm not the only one to looking around for Blues Albums and rarity. But I digress here.

John Lee Hooker, a man of legend, he is, for many peoples, the face of Blues ant this title is well deserve. He have an authentic style that he use to make over 80 Albums.

This Album In particular is a jam cession on 8 tracks selected on a night at the Kabuki Theater. Some, like the first track of each side, are more uptempo than the rest of the album. In general, each track the album are fantastic slow burner, perfect for late night or like in my case, heatwave perfect chill moment.  

To represent this albums, I wanted to chose 3 songs and explain why, but I can't. well, not directly since Blogger don't let me choose any video from the official YouTube page. (it's really an issue with the video search engine of Blogger... please fix that) 

So I decided to go wit what I can found: 

I Wonfer Why (and)  If You Got A Dollar

Damn, I'm glad my album sound better than this one... To situate them, those two songs are the last songs of the side two. As you can hear, they're really chill and even if they're at the end, they're not some kind of filler at all. The whole album is this kind of slow, not extravagant, but really enjoyable musics.

I'm seriously disappointed because, even on the YouTube official artist page, I found nothing about this album except via the Discogs page where there the link for the music is here, but only available via this website. so to satisfies your curiosity I will link it at the following, with the YouTube official page.
