Our Take
The Charcot Sessions by John Lee Hooker is a mesmerising journey through the blues legend's late-career experimentation. Recorded in the bowels of a psychiatric hospital, this album showcases Hooker's raw, visceral talent in a whole new light. From the haunting echoes of "Blues for Big Town" to the gritty, electrifying energy of "Boom Boom", Hooker's signature growl and hypnotic guitar work shine through in every track. The stripped-back production and intimate setting create an eerie atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling. Each song feels like a deeply personal confession, with Hooker baring his soul for all to hear. The Charcot Sessions is a testament to the enduring power of the blues, with Hooker's timeless voice and masterful musicianship holding court throughout. While some may find the album's lo-fi production and unpolished edges jarring, true blues aficionados will appreciate the raw, unfiltered nature of the recordings. This is John Lee Hooker at his most vulnerable and most powerful, laying bare his inner demons with a fierce honesty that is as captivating as it is chilling. Overall, The Charcot Sessions is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the artistry of one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. It may not be an easy listen, but it's a rewarding one for those willing to delve into the depths of Hooker's soul.
