Our Take

In John Lee Hooker's House of the Blues, the legendary blues guitarist invites listeners to step inside his musical abode and take a soul-stirring journey through the heart of the genre. From the first note of the opening track, "Walkin' the Boogie," it's clear that Hooker's raw, emotive playing style is timeless and as captivating as ever.

The album is a masterclass in blues storytelling, with Hooker's gravelly vocals weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption over the hypnotic rhythms of his guitar. Tracks like "Sugar Mama" and "Crawlin' King Snake" are perfect examples of Hooker's ability to draw listeners in with his evocative lyrics and masterful musicianship.

But it's not all doom and gloom in House of the Blues - Hooker injects plenty of wit and charm into his songs, giving them a playful edge that sets them apart from other blues records. His cheeky personality shines through on tracks like "Catfish" and "My First Wife Left Me," making for an album that's as joyous as it is melancholic.

Overall, House of the Blues is a testament to John Lee Hooker's enduring legacy as a blues icon. With its blend of heart-wrenching ballads and foot-stomping anthems, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the raw power of the blues in all its glory. So grab a drink, dim the lights, and let Hooker's soulful sounds wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
