Our Take

Ah, John Lee Hooker, the man with a voice as deep and smooth as a freshly brewed cuppa. The "Intro Collection" is a delightful three-disc journey through the blues legend's iconic hits, perfect for any music lover looking to spice up their record collection.

From the moment you press play on "Boogie Chillen'", you can't help but be drawn into Hooker's world of soulful guitar riffs and storytelling lyrics. Each track on this compilation is a testament to his immense talent and influence on the music industry.

On the second disc, Hooker delves into more experimental territory with tracks like "Crawling King Snake" and "Boom Boom", showcasing his versatility as an artist. It's clear that he wasn't afraid to push boundaries and try new things, something that sets him apart from other blues musicians of his time.

By the time you reach the final disc, you'll be left wanting more of Hooker's infectious energy and raw emotion. Tracks like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" will have you tapping your feet and reaching for another drink, as Hooker's gravelly vocals transport you to a smoky blues bar in 1950s Chicago.

Overall, "Intro Collection" is a must-have for any fan of blues music or anyone looking to add a touch of class to their vinyl collection. John Lee Hooker may be gone, but his music lives on in this fantastic compilation. Cheers to you, Mr. Hooker, for giving us the gift of your timeless music.
