JOHN HOOD
ANALOG MAN IN A DIGITAL WORLD 

JH016 

|
This is my first full album featuring digital synthesised backings, I think they work pretty well. As usual they are all original tunes, this time featuring jazzy/blues guitar improvisations. Some people might call it 'lounge' but it felt great to play over these feels. It's basically what I do on my solo gigs.

NEWS: 2010

I have just returned from Manjimup to Perth. I closed down my previous website due to hackers and people downloading my MP3 files and putting them out on very poor quality bootleg albums. Also, plenty of websites now have my personal band pictures posted on them, which were 'ripped' from my site. I now intend to use this site just as a presence, with news of current happenings, and a place where people can contact me, if they so desire..

I am currently helping out on a book project on Perth bands from 1966-1977. During this time I played guitar and blues harp with The Jellyroll Bakers, Juke, King Biscuit Company, Sid Rumpo, Blapz, Bitch, The Units and The Elks, along with many casual gigs. Looking forward to providing information on the music from that period, as well as some anecdotal stuff.

We are looking for stories, photos, articles and recordings from any Perth musicians out there. Check out the blog for this book by clicking here


I also have an arrangement whereby you can simply purchase any of my current albums directly from 78 Records' secure website by clicking here
