"The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences announced the artist's debut CD "Blues With A Vengeance" as a nominee for the 47th Annual Grammy Awards in the Traditional Blues Album category"

John Lee Hooker Jr. "Blues With A Vengeance" debut CD available. Blues singer John Lee Hooker, Jr. recently returned from his European tour to enjoy the holidays with family in Northern California, only to learn that he'd been nominated for not one, but two, prestigious industry awards.

In early December of 2004, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences announced the artist's debut CD "Blues With A Vengeance" as a nominee for the 47th Annual Grammy Awards in the Traditional Blues Album category. Other nominees in this category include Eric Clapton, Etta James, James Cotton, and Pinetop Perkins. The winner will be announced on February 13, 2005 in Los Angeles just prior to the televised ceremonies at Staples Center.

Topping off the news of the Grammy nod was the most recent announcement by the Blues Foundation in Memphis nominating the same CD for its distinguished W.C. Handy Award in the Best New Artist Debut category. Winners of this esteemed blues community award will be announced on May 5, 2005 at the Memphis Cook Convention Center in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.

Moreover, "Blues With A Vengeance", was recently named 2004’s Outstanding Blues Album of the Year by the California Music Awards, proving that John Lee Hooker, Jr., the son of a blues legend from another era, has without doubt made his mark as a true bluesman for today. Steeped in tradition while pushing the boundaries, Hooker’s CD is, unconditionally, as up-to-date as the genre comes, eloquently parading his own handcrafted brand of scorching modern blues.

A recent review in Living Blues Magazine said of Mr., Hooker, "It's extremely difficult to do what J.L.H. Jr. has done here: confront both the blessing and the burden of being heir to one of the music's most daunting legacies, while still retaining one's own identity." Writer David Whiteis goes on to say that the album "introduces the younger Hooker as a protean talent of great potential, as well as significant already-realized gifts."

Right from the start I would like to make clear that this is "a traditional blues album". However this is a traditional blues album with something different in it. John Lee Hooker JR., as mentioned also in the review below, doesn't sound anything close to his father, his style is completely different, very close to the tradition of Chicago style but with something more add in the mix that make this CD sound really refreshing and innovative if you will. He has a great voice and also, and equally important, a very personal way of singing. As he states on the linear notes "we went out of bounds, beyond limitation, broke barriers, and broke the blues rules in working on this CD". And, from my point of view, they did it, and they did it also very well. The Final result is remarkably good: a very "innovative" traditional blues album. Most of the songs in the album include a powerful horn section and a very good guitar work from John Garcia who worked with his dad for many years. It is really a pleasure to listening to this CD and I really hope that it will have the attention both from public and critics that it deserves. ~ M. Bernocchi

In my opinion this was the best album of 2004.He doesn't sound anything like his father but he has a great voice for blues and his own style. The cd consists of seven orginials,three of his dad's songs and one from T-Bone Walker.His band is as tight as they come, great guitar. If your looking for something that will rock the house then look no further. ~ Willy
