Description:
The Healer was oddly a major mainstream breakthrough for John Lee Hooker. The album was one of the first to feature a wide array of guest stars, including Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, Johnnie Johnson and Los Lobos and Carlos Santana.

The album immediately captured widespread media attention because of all the superstar musicians involved in its production and has to date been John Lee’s most successful release.

Recorded in analog and mixed to ¼’’ 15ips analog tape, the sound is better than almost any other Hooker recording. Transferred from the original ¼’’ analog tapes by Bernie Grundman using Classic’s « all tube » cutting system, gives this release a warmth and comfort is has never had.

If you’re a John Lee Hooker fan then this a must ! Great sound and classic Hooker guitar and vocal performances.
