Our Take

Album Review: JOHN LEE HOOKER Four Classic Albums

Picture this: you're in a dimly lit room, a smoky haze hanging in the air, and a lone figure on stage with a guitar in hand. That's the vibe you get when you listen to John Lee Hooker's Four Classic Albums.

The first album, "The Folklore of John Lee Hooker," is a journey through the roots of blues music. With Hooker's gritty vocals and raw guitar playing, each track feels like a journey back in time to the Mississippi Delta.

Moving on to "House of the Blues," Hooker brings a more polished sound, with tight arrangements and slick production. But don't worry, he still maintains that rough-around-the-edges charm that makes his music so irresistible.

Next up is "Boogie Chillun'," a collection of uptempo boogie-woogie tunes that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time. Hooker's infectious energy is contagious, and you can't help but get swept up in the groove.

Finally, we have "I'm John Lee Hooker," a mix of blues, rock, and soul that showcases Hooker's versatility as a musician. From the haunting ballad "Tupelo" to the rollicking "Boom Boom," this album has something for everyone.

In conclusion, John Lee Hooker's Four Classic Albums is a must-listen for any blues fan. So dim the lights, pour yourself a drink, and let Hooker's timeless music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
