This week, John Lee Hooker, Jr. made a special appearance on “Carolyn Fox’s Hollywood Spotlight.”
This singer, songwriter and son of famous blues man John Lee Hooker, grew up surrounded by music. Of course, he’s extremely well versed in blues traditions, but kills it with R&B, jazz and neo-soul numbers.
On his new, yet-to-be-released CD, “All Hooked Up,” John creates vivid characters in his songs. He tells a story with songs like “Tired of Being a Housewife,” “You Be My Hero,” and “Hard Times.”
To celebrate the upcoming release of “All Hooked Up,” John is touring Europe and the US. On Saturday, Sept. 15, he’ll be appearing live at Harvelle’s in Santa Monica.
On this edition of “Carolyn Fox’s Hollywood Spotlight,” you’ll also hear music from Maria Muldaur, Eric Hutchinson, Macy Gray, Joan Osborne, Geoffrey Leigh Tozer, Matt Schofield, Cee Cee James, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Brian Lopez, and Susan Surftone.
