Our Take

John Lee Hooker, the legendary bluesman, has long been a staple of the music world. His latest album, "Legendary Modern," is a captivating blend of raw emotion and soulful storytelling.

From the moment you press play, Hooker's gravelly voice draws you in like a fish on a line. The album opens with the haunting track "Boom Boom," a slow burner that builds to a crescendo of raw power. Hooker's guitar work is as impeccable as ever, with each note ringing out like a shot in the night.

Throughout the album, Hooker takes listeners on a journey through the heart of the blues. Tracks like "Crawlin' King Snake" and "I'm in the Mood" showcase his ability to tell a story with nothing but his voice and his guitar.

But what truly sets "Legendary Modern" apart is Hooker's willingness to experiment with new sounds and styles. The album's closing track, "The Healer," sees Hooker teaming up with Carlos Santana for a fiery collaboration that blurs the lines between blues and rock.

In a world where music can often feel stale and formulaic, John Lee Hooker's "Legendary Modern" is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that the blues will always have a place in our hearts, and that Hooker's talent knows no bounds. So do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
