The Very Best
It was my first purchase of an album by John Lee Hooker and I was not disappointed, a great choice. I would definitely recommend it.
Great blues by a legendary blues singer
This is indeed "The very best" of John Lee Hooker. It captures music from different times in his career, from his first "hit," "Boogie Chillen'" to "Boom Boom" to "I'm Bad Like Jesse James" to "Terraplane Blues."
I'll mention just a few to illustrate. "Boogie Chillen'" is noted as his first hit (1949). The guitar playing is extremely simple--but almost hypnotic in its effect. The simple riff is described by Hooker as "just an old funky lick I found." One theme is how boogie woogie is just trying to get out of him!
"Boom Boom" features a good ensemble playing well together. This song became visible after the Animals covered it and reached a wider audience. A nice set of lines well sung:
"She walked that walk and talked that talk;
And whispered in my ear,
And tell me that you love me.
I love that talk
When you talk like that."
His distinctive voice well serves this song.
"I'm Bad like Jesse James" begins with the central tag line for the song: "I'm mad, I'm bad like Jesse James." This is a story-telling song, telling what the singer is planning for someone who fooled around with his wife. And he gets mad (like Jesse James). He describes three guys he knows who will take care of the bad guy. He goes through a few scenarios, warning off the cad. Pretty graphic! The rhythmic drum playing works well, accenting the development of the story. This is classic John Lee Hooker.
This is a nice introduction to the work of one of the legendary blues singers. Those interested in learning more about the blues would be well advised to consider this CD.
Not my cup of tea
Old songs from a young J.L.Hooker. I never listen to this CD. Glad I bought it on sale. The CD has some decent guitar, but I don't like the chosen songs.
Not a favorite of mine.
