John Lee Hooker didn't know his exact birthday. If he hadn't died at around 80, this somewhat ageless musician would still be mesmerizing the next generation with his gigs with ease. Hooker remains a phenomenon, a mysterious figure of black rhythm and blues, a charismatic king reigning high in the rock and roll halls of fame. John W. Peters described his music as a synthesis of searing soulful fire, merciless rhythmic intensity and original poetry of a very personal nature. Probably everyone who hears John Lee Hooker for the first time is stunned by the unfiltered passion and power of his music.
Another surprise is offered to those who compare Hooker's late recordings with those from the sixties. His incomparable, untrained voice has matured to perfection, but his evocative vocal style seems much more refined and flexible. Then there's this gem of a rhythm band, whose supple tones fill the grooves with mercilessly attractive power. Enough to send a shiver down your spine!Reviews"As an (over)life artist, John Lee Hooker mastered a special art virtuously already since his beginnings at Modern Records." (stereo, 11 / 2010)Genre: Blues
