Our Take

John Lee Hooker's "Alone Vol. 1" is a raw and captivating journey into the soul of the blues. With his signature growling vocals and hypnotic guitar riffs, Hooker effortlessly transports listeners to a smoky juke joint in the deep south.

From the opening track, "Tupelo," Hooker grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. His haunting storytelling, combined with the sparse instrumentation, creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that lingers long after the final notes fade away.

Throughout the album, Hooker's gravelly voice weaves tales of love, loss, and redemption, drawing you in with every word. Songs like "Hard Times" and "House Rent Boogie" showcase Hooker's unparalleled knack for blending emotion and groove, leaving you swaying and tapping your foot along with the music.

But it's not just Hooker's vocals that shine on this album - his guitar playing is equally mesmerising. The way he effortlessly shifts from delicate fingerpicking to blistering solos is a testament to his unparalleled skill and musicianship.

Overall, "Alone Vol. 1" is a must-listen for any fan of the blues. It's a masterclass in storytelling and musicianship, delivered by a true legend of the genre. John Lee Hooker may be alone on this album, but he's never sounded more at home.
