Race and Russo’s reimagining of Hooker is simultaneously blues, electronica, avant-garde and ambient, homage to one of the greats of rock and roll prehistory.
Recorded in a single, continuous day and night live session at the Berlin studio of Einsturzende Neubauten engineer Boris Wilsdorf, John Lee Hooker’s World Today is an epic album of sonic sorcery suspended in time and place, looking back through twenty-first century eyes at John Lee Hooker’s delta blues legacy in a swirling mix of analogue grit and deep trance pulses on the 100th anniversary of Hooker’s birth.
