Hooker - Rock And Roll CD. Compilation of recently unearthed recordings from this killer Houston, Texas area 70s hard rock band including tracks from their never-released album. The music is loaded with heavy Texas-style guitar action and oozing with that unmistakable 70s Texas rock and roll party vibe. They've been described before as a Texas version of Aerosmith, or similar to Blackfoot. The guitar team of Hampton and Howland bust out all over this album with blazing over the top guitar battles that have a nearly metallic edge. While the early album cuts are full-throttle Texas hard rock, the later 70s bonus cuts lean towards a combination of hard rock and early metal in the vein of the rare Survivor "All Your Pretty Moves" album. Vintage/Rockadrome label fans of Ultra, Cain, and Poobah and bands like Hunt, The Gods, Totty, Impeccable, and Magi will surely dig this one. Includes 3 bonus tracks, including a cover of Tin House's I Want Your Body. (sealed)
