A powerful memoir of redemption from the son of blues legend John Lee Hooker.
Born in Detroit, John Lee Hooker Jr. began singing as a featured attraction in his fathers shows as a
teenager. His father was a sharecroppers son who became known for hit songs like Boogie Chillen, Im in the Mood, and Boom Boom, and in 1972, he and his father performed live and recorded an album in Soledad Prison. Junior seemed to have a golden ticket to a successful music career, but problems brewed as his fathers troubled marriage ripped apart the family.
Drug addiction and a series of crimes landed Junior in and out of jails and prisons for several decades, including at Soledad, San Quentin, and Avenal. A brush with the law led to a sentence at Synanon, the infamous drug rehabilitation program turned religious cult. Shot, stabbed, and convicted multiple times, Junior was at his lowest point when he found the Lord. He emerged clean and sober and began a successful career as a blues singer, earning two Grammy nominations as well as the Bobby Blue Bland Lifetime Achievement Award. He eventually devoted himself fully to his faith. He testifies, preaches, and performs gospel music in churches and prisons in both America and Germany.
