Our Take

John Lee Hooker's album "Sings The Blues / Sings Blues" is a masterclass in raw, emotive blues music that will have you feeling every heartache and pain right alongside him. With his gravelly voice and effortless guitar skills, Hooker effortlessly transports listeners to the smoky juke joints of the Mississippi Delta.

From the haunting opening track "Blues Before Sunrise" to the rollicking "Boogie Chillen", Hooker's expressive vocals and intricate fingerpicking style shine throughout the entire album. His ability to tell a story with just a few chords and a soulful voice is truly unparalleled.

Songs like "I'm in the Mood" and "Crawlin' King Snake" showcase Hooker's versatility as a musician, effortlessly blending traditional blues with a touch of rock 'n' roll swagger. And his poignant rendition of "Boom Boom" will have you tapping your foot and nodding along in agreement.

Overall, "Sings The Blues / Sings Blues" is a timeless classic that cements John Lee Hooker as one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. So grab a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let Hooker's music wash over you like a warm, comforting wave of musical bliss. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
