John Lee Hooker - Burnin' (60th Anniversary) John Lee Hooker
In 1961, John Lee Hooker recorded "Burnin’", an album accompanied by an early version of Motown's legendary Funk Brothers band for Vee Jay Records in one session, probably four hours in length. Vee Jay was an independent label based in Chicago, owned by an African American married couple, Vivian Carter and James Bracken, which had achieved considerable success selling R&B, blues, gospel, and jazz records to Black audiences. Hooker had been recording for the label since 1955, and in 1958, one of his Vee Jay 45s made the top 30 on the R&B chart. In 1960, another one did even better and peaked at #21.
