When your daddy is blues icon, the late, great, four time Grammy winner, John Lee Hooker, what’s a blues sangin’ sista to do? When posed with that dilema, Zakiya Hooker has only one answer, and that is to, “Keep It Real” And she does just that on her newly released CD “Keeping It Real” produced and recorded by her husband, Ollan Bell, on their independent label, Boogie with the Hook Records in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This is Zakiya’s fourth CD release. On “Keeping It Real” the blues transcend the family hierarchy and given the honor of the name, Zakiya holds the blues torch lit whether singing a duet with her father on “Rock These Blues Away” and rockin’ the blues on “Hug U Kiss U” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” or singing the blues in Spanish on “Desconfio”, Zakiya is, by all means, “Keeping It Real”
