Our Take

John Lee Hooker's latest album, "Travelin'", takes listeners on a meandering journey through the blues. With his gravelly voice and expert guitar skills, Hooker weaves tales of heartache, redemption, and the open road.

The album kicks off with the foot-stomping "Boom Boom", a classic blues number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Hooker's raw, emotive vocals cut straight to the soul, while his guitar work is as smooth as a fine whiskey.

Tracks like "I'm Gonna Be Standing on the Outside" and "Whiskey and Wimmen" showcase Hooker's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of love and loss in a way that only a true bluesman can.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Hobo Blues", a haunting ballad that showcases Hooker's incredible range and emotional depth. The sparse instrumentation allows Hooker's vocals to take center stage, and he delivers a performance that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Overall, "Travelin'" is a masterclass in blues music, from one of the genre's true legends. John Lee Hooker may be on the road, but with this album, he proves that he is still at the top of his game. So grab your suitcase, hit the highway, and let Hooker's music be your guide.
