A rich combination of blues talent and spice assembled in West Hollywood in June 1995 for Live From The House Of Blues, a spectacular display of collaborations with equally impressive names from the blues scene. John Lee Hooker's own Daughter Zakiya opened the event backed by the Duke Robillard Band.

Added to the day's event was a prized collection of genial giants in Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Lazy Lester and of course, the boom, boom blues of the legendary John Lee Hooker. Duke Robillard's band offered a prominent backing for most of the guests and sealed the day with Ry Cooder's subliminal workout alongside Hooker for his signature R&B romp; Boom, Boom.

Klondike proudly presents the entire WLUP-FM broadcast of Live At The House Of Blues, a gathering of genial blues giants and friends of John Lee Hooker.

Professionally re-mastered FM broadcast with background liners and rare archival photos.
