July 21st, 2023 – BMG is proud to release JOHN LEE HOOKER’s classic 1960’s-era album …and seven nights. Recorded in London with British band the Groundhogs, the album receives its first ever 180-gram vinyl reissue. The reissue features the original 1964 recordings, described by AllMusic as “raw, tight, and raunchy […] some of the best-backed recordings of Hooker’s career.” Groundhogs, led by guitarist Tony McPhee, backed Hooker on his 1964 UK tour and recorded …and seven nights in November of that year at IBC Studios in London. Known to music fans around the world as the “King of the Boogie,” John Lee Hooker endures as one of the true superstars of the blues genre: the ultimate beholder of cool. His work is widely recognized for its impact on modern music – his simple, yet deeply effective songs transcend borders and languages around the globe. Each decade of Hooker’s long career brought a new generation of fans and fresh opportunities for the ever-evolving artist. He never slowed down either: As John Lee Hooker entered his 70s, he suddenly found himself in the most successful era of his career – reinvented yet again, and energized as ever, touring, and recording up until his passing in 2001.
