John Lee Hooker - Should Have Been Gone (Official Audio)

Listen to “Should Have Been Gone,” a spin on a Hooker staple previously known as “I’m Leaving”.

Part of John Lee Hooker’s newly unearthed 1973 recordings for THE STANDARD SCHOOL BROADCAST, out now via BMG. The album is an evocative collection of Blues brilliance, recorded for an educational broadcast, revealing John Lee Hooker at his most raw and transcendent.

This collection captures Hooker and a hand-picked trio of musicians at their most intimate and inspired. Decades later, the full session has been unearthed, offering fans an unparalleled glimpse into the artistry of one of the Blues’ greatest pioneers.

During the original recording session, Hooker, bassist Gino Skaggs, and his son Robert Hooker recorded eight tracks, only three of which were ever broadcast. The remaining five tracks have remained unheard - until now.
