Our Take

Ah, John Lee Hooker, the godfather of the blues. His gravelly voice and hypnotic guitar playing have influenced generations of musicians. The Very Best Of is a delightful compilation of Hooker's greatest hits, showcasing his raw talent and undeniable charisma.

From the iconic "Boom Boom" to the haunting "Crawlin' King Snake", this album is a masterclass in storytelling through music. Hooker's bluesy guitar riffs and soulful vocals transport the listener to a smoky juke joint in the Deep South, where the whiskey flows and the music never stops.

Tracks like "Dimples" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" are guaranteed to get your foot tapping and your hips swaying. Hooker's timeless lyrics and infectious grooves will have you coming back for more, time and time again.

While some may argue that a greatest hits album lacks the depth of a complete studio album, The Very Best Of is a perfect introduction to Hooker's extensive discography for newcomers and a nostalgic trip down memory lane for longtime fans.

So grab a glass of bourbon, put on your dancing shoes, and let John Lee Hooker's music wash over you like a warm Mississippi breeze. The Very Best Of is a must-have for any blues enthusiast, proving once again why Hooker is a legend in the music industry.
