Our Take

In the blues world, few names carry as much weight as John Lee Hooker. His latest album, "How Long Blues," is a masterclass in gritty guitar licks and soulful vocals that transport you to the smoky bars and juke joints of the Deep South.

From the moment Hooker's gravelly voice kicks in on the title track, you know you're in for a wild ride. His raw, unfiltered energy is matched only by his unparalleled musicianship, as he effortlessly weaves between frenetic riffs and soul-stirring melodies.

"Hobo Blues" is a standout track, with its slow-burning groove and haunting lyrics that speak to the timeless struggle of a wanderer searching for home. The mournful wail of Hooker's guitar cuts through the air like a knife, leaving you spellbound in its wake.

But it's on tracks like "Crawlin' King Snake" that Hooker truly shines. His mesmerising slide guitar work is a testament to his unparalleled skill and influence on generations of musicians to come. Each note is a story unto itself, drawing you in and refusing to let go.

In a world oversaturated with cookie-cutter pop stars and soulless production, John Lee Hooker is a breath of fresh air. "How Long Blues" is a reminder of the raw power and emotion that only true blues music can deliver. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of whisky, and let John Lee Hooker take you on a journey through the soul of the South.
