John Lee Hooker was a phenomenon of the blues throughout his life. Born in Mississippi, Hooker moved to Chicago after World War II, where he became a star of the blues scene. Unfortunately, he had a miserable sense of the right time to record and an even worse nose when it came to choosing the bands he played with. From this point of view, his only recording for Impuls in 1966 was a real stroke of luck for professionalism.
The session band of the Impuls label did the only right thing for this recording and lets the old master play without getting in the way themselves. The band consists of William Wills on trombone, Joe Galbreath on guitar, Milt Hinton on bass and David "Panama" Francis on drums. Musically, an earthy blues with an enormously powerful rhythm is offered and sonically this is one of the best John Lee Hooker albums.
This recording comes from a series of re-releases of the legendary Impulse label.
John Lee Hooker himself did not know his exact date of birth. If he hadn't died at around the age of 80, this ageless musician would still be easily pulling the next generation to his gigs. Hooker remains a phenomenon, a mysterious figure of black rhythm and blues, a charismatic king who reigns supreme in rock 'n' roll's Hall of Fame. John W. Peters described his music as a synthesis of scorching emotional ardour, unrelenting rhythmic intensity, and original poetry of a highly personal character. Anyone hearing him for the first time may well be startled at the unfiltered passion and power of his music.
And another surprise is in store for those who compare Hooker's late recordings with those made in the Sixties. His unmistakable, raw voice has fully matured, but his incantory style of singing appears markedly finer and more flexible. And then there is the perfect gem of a rhythm group whose sinewy sounds fill the grooves with merciless gravitational force. It's enough to make your spine tingle!
