D.R. HOOKER - 1972 - THE TRUTH
This gem was recorded in Connecticut in 1972 and is one of the rarest US psych LPs. The voice is just as psychy as every psychhead would expect it. Wailing fuzz guitars and a psychy atmosphere throughout the album make this gem be legendary.
The songs are well-crafted and still nice to be listened at after several times. There has been a reissue on cd with 6 bonus tracks which are not on the LP but which are included here. Personally, I did like very much track 5 (the beginning couldnt be better!)
1. The Sea 4:27
2. Fall in Love 2:35
3. A Stranger's Smile 2:21
4. Weather Girl 4:11
5. This Thing 5:18
6. Forge Your Own Chains 4:43
7. I'm Leaving You 4:04
8. The Truth 3:39
9. The Bible 4:47
10. Falling Asleep 5:01
Bonus Tracks:
11. Hello 2:41
12. This Moment 5:26
13. Free 3:18
14. Winter 4:29
15. A Tormented Heart 6:01
16. Kamala 5:54
