Our Take

John Lee Hooker's "The Cream" is a swirly, dreamy concoction of blues and soul that will leave you feeling smoother than a freshly churned tub of double cream. Cherry Red and White Cream Vinyl? More like Cherry Red Hot and Creamy Cool.

With his signature growling vocals and slick guitar licks, Hooker masterfully blends foot-stomping rhythms with soulful melodies in this collection of classic tracks. Each song is a decadent treat for the ears, with layers of rich instrumentation and Hooker's timeless storytelling weaving together to create a truly delicious listening experience.

From the funky grooves of "Boom Boom" to the hauntingly beautiful "I'm In The Mood", "The Cream" showcases Hooker's unparalleled talent and effortless coolness. It's like sinking into a tub of whipped cream and letting the smooth sounds wash over you, leaving you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

So grab a spoon, dig in, and let John Lee Hooker's "The Cream" satisfy your musical cravings. This album is a true delight for the senses, with each track serving up a tasty mix of blues, soul, and pure musical magic. Bon appétit, music lovers.
