Product Description

CD Description

When popular culture embraced John Lee, purists turned up their noses. They should have been pleased that the world's greatest living Delta bluesman was going to make some money before he turned up his toes. Teaming up with Carlos Santana,Bonnie Raitt, Los Lobos, Canned Heat (not for the first time) and others, lent Hooker's blues a contemporary gloss. It took the album to the upper reaches of the album charts around the world, brought him a number of Grammy awards and a new career in advertising. The blues is not only a healer, it drinks brandy and wears jeans. The Santana guitar solo on the title track is breathtaking and Hooker is the coolest senior citizen in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proves that age is no barrier to genius, 13 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Yes!! This album is fantastic. It virtually relaunched Hooker (for the umpteenth time in his VERY long career) and certainly deserved to. Carlos Santana provides a searing opening guitar line, Bonnie Raitt's duet is wonderful and the closing acoustic tracks have all the charm of Hooker of old. This is one album not to be missed, even if you have never previously listened to the blues. Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic, pure pleasure., 6 Nov 2000
I couldn't say I am an expert, or even know anything about the blues, but this is one great CD. I bought it on impulse after reading an article in one of the dailies and listen to it all the time. Unlike most popular music, the more I listen to it, the better it seems to get :-)
