LP Cover Lover

My Converse

This is a great, hard-to-find John Lee Hooker lp recorded in 1971 and released in 1973 on ABC. “Going Down” features rockers Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop, while the other numbers include great r&b and jazz session guys like John Klemmer, Cliff Coulter, Mel Brown, Don “sugarcane” Harris, etc. But the highlight for me is a the first song on the second side - “Younger Stud”.

The cover photo is by Al Kramer and designed by Ruby Mazur.

All I wore in the early 1970’s were high-top Converse like these.

In the liner notes producer Sonny Lester pays tribute for the concept here to Levy’s rye bread. “Just like the cover of this album says, Chinese kids like watermelon, Irish like bagels, black people like Jewish rye bread and today everybody loves the blues”
