Our Take

Earl Hooker's "Ride Hooker Ride" is a wild, unpredictable journey through the world of blues music. From the moment the first note hits your ears, you know you're in for a one-of-a-kind ride. The album kicks off with the furious title track, a fiery instrumental that showcases Hooker's unparalleled guitar skills. His fingers dance effortlessly across the fretboard, weaving a sonic tapestry that is equal parts exhilarating and hypnotic. Tracks like "Off the Hook" and "Two Bugs and a Roach" further showcase Hooker's versatility as a musician. He effortlessly blends elements of Chicago blues, Delta blues, and even a touch of funk, creating a sound that is uniquely his own. But it's not just Hooker's guitar playing that shines on this album. His soulful vocals on tracks like "Tootie Fruitie" and "Bee Hive" are raw and emotional, drawing you in and refusing to let go. "Ride Hooker Ride" is a rollercoaster of an album that never lets up. With its infectious grooves, blistering guitar solos, and soul-stirring vocals, it's a must-listen for any fan of the blues. Earl Hooker may not be a household name like some of his contemporaries, but after one listen to this album, you'll wonder why that's the case. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare to ride with the one and only Earl Hooker.
