Available exclusively on Black Friday, November 29th for Record Store Day, comes Black Night Is Falling: Live At The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club.  This 2-LP Collector’s Edition is limited to  4,000 copies and contains the previously unreleased, complete 17 minute, “Rock Steady” jam. The set also includes “Chicken And Gravy” which appears on no other John Lee Hooker recording, plus 3 new bonus “Rock Steady” remixes.

On May 5, 1977 John Lee Hooker and his band were recorded at the Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal, Quebec, Black Night Is Falling finds the King Of The Boogie in excellent voice and backed by a powerful band composed of John Garcia on guitar, Steve Jones on bass, and Larry “Wild Man” Martin on drums, with the end result being an outstanding example of live Hooker at his best. Highlights include impressive romps through two of Hooker’s signature tunes, “Boom Boom,” which simply blazes with raw energy here, and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” which is delivered as a brilliantly paced barroom cautionary tale.  This is what live Hooker sounded like with a sympathetic band behind him, a band that luckily wasn’t afraid to push him a little.
