...And Seven Nights is an album by the blues musician John Lee Hooker.[1] It was recorded in London in 1964 and released by the Verve Folkways label the following year. Hooker plays with the British band the Groundhogs. The album was re-released with the title Hooker and the Hogs and with overdubbed horns as On the Waterfront.[2][3]
AllMusic's reviewer, Bruce Eder, wrote, "The sound is raw, tight, and raunchy, some of the best band-backed recordings of Hooker's career. He's notoriously difficult to play support for because of the spontaneity of his work, but these guys keep up and then some, adding engaging flourishes and grace notes. Hooker is in excellent voice, and his material is as strong as any album in his output, rough, dark, and moody."[4]
The editors of Billboard listed the album in the "Blues Special Merit" category, and a reviewer stated: "Hooker is one of the greatest blues singers extant, and the sound of the delta and swamp are in his sides. Devotees will want this one."[5]
Fraser Lewry of Classic Rock called the album "a rough and ready collection," with the Groundhogs "handling Hooker's spontaneity with relaxed aplomb."[6]
