The First Official American Vinyl LP Reissue of John Lee Hooker's Born in Mississippi, Raised Up in Tennessee.

Born in Mississippi, Raised Up in Tennessee is a fascinating 1973 release that mixes the rootsy blues of John Lee Hooker with some of the best studio musicians from the ABC Records stable including Clifford Coulter (piano), Sugarcane Harris (violin), Oscar Brashear (trumpet), Mel Brown (bass), George Bohannon (trombone), and John Klemmer (saxophone). Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop even make appearances as well on "Going Down." The fine accompaniment exhibits a great ear for combining jazz, blues, soul, and funk – and help The King of the Boogie make the set a compelling gem in his influential catalog. First official American vinyl LP reissue.
