D.R. HOOKER
The Truth (Subliminal Sounds)

Reviewed by Alan Wright



I had no ideas what to expect from this curious reissue, featuring a bearded hippie in a robe holding a guitar on the cover! Dating from '72, this is a messed-up, freaky mix of folkrock, psychedelia and heavy rock. There appears to be somewhat of a Christian vibe lyrically, but not overt enough to make it too cheesy, just adds to the overall bizarreness of this almost indescribable artifact!
