Jane Lee Hooker Spiritus Review

Jane Lee Hooker is back with their second rock-blues album titled, Spiritus.  A five-piece blues group, of all females that call themselves Jane Lee Hooker. The name might be a new name to you, by no means are they new to the game. Between the five members, they have decades of experience playing, recording, and touring, both nationally and internationally. The group started when guitarists Hightop and T-Bone honed their love of blazing dual leads in Helldorado in the 90s. From there, Hightop joined Nashville Pussy, T-Bone joined Bad Wizard, and both women toured the world. But when their time with those bands ended, they realized they really missed the rush of trading guitar solos with one another, so they recruited Hail Mary, who played bass with Hightop in the punk band the Wives. Cool Whip got the drum chair and the icing on the cake was singer Dana `Danger` Athens. The new album brings the bands writing abilities front and center with 8 originals, filled out with two covers.  The music was recorded live with no overdubs, but plenty of energy and blues/rock attitude. That’s the short of it!
