Double the wax, double the groove—this expanded 2LP edition of Black Night Is Falling brings even more of John Lee Hooker’s legendary 1977 performance at Montreal’s Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club to your turntable. It’s a front-porch blues sermon delivered in a smoky jazz club, soaked in sweat, swagger, and soul.

Hooker is in peak form here, armed with his unmistakable voice, hypnotic guitar, and a tight backing band that knows when to simmer and when to explode. Classics like “Boom Boom,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” and the slow-burn title track “Black Night Is Falling” come alive with the grit of live performance. There’s no studio polish—just the raw, pulsing energy of a blues master commanding the room.

This 2LP version digs deeper into the setlist, offering extended jams, crowd interaction, and moments that feel as intimate as they are electric. The recording captures not just the sound, but the spirit of the night—a moment when the blues were alive, breathing, and full of fire.

Pressed on high-quality vinyl with rich, resonant sound, this live album is essential listening for blues lovers, vinyl collectors, and anyone craving the real thing. John Lee Hooker doesn’t just play the blues—he is the blues.
