Just in time for Halloween, the Document label is releasing Blues, Blues, Hoodoo, Halloween – Scary Blues & Jazz 1925-1961 by various artists. The CD is loaded with a diverse selection of great performances by stars and journeymen of Blues, R & B and Jazz. A scary musical set of recordings for Halloween Night.

Black American music has long been associated with both Hoodoo, and in the Caribbean and parts of Louisiana, Voodoo. There are many references to the Hoodoo Man, or Hoodoo Lady, who would cast a spell for you, or supply you with a ‘Conjure Bag’, a ‘Mojo Hand’ or other charms to do the same. The ‘Black Cat Bone’, the ‘John The Conqueror Root’, or the Voodoo ‘Gris Gris. Sometimes to give you power over money, or other powers, but almost always to give you control of the opposite sex.

The album comes with detailed booklet notes by Dave Clarke.
