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

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

Please tell me I can find a copy of this somewhere on the net for a download. The fact that you mentioned John Klemmer gave me chills. No one remembers him. This must be a great album. Care to share?
