John Lee Hooker (guitar, vocals).

This album, though overflowing with talent, is sadly not up to par with his best material. The reason for this albums failing are simple; it is horribly monotonous. When I buy an album by a guitar great I expect that the guitar playing is going to be as good as it can be and that the song writing is going to be somewhat imaginative, unfortunately the song writing on this album was far from the best. I think that the first four songs on this album sounded pretty much the same and at least two consecutive songs were about the very same subject matter and could have been combined into one song. However this album is very pleasent to listen to and has some great guitar riffs and even some pretty great songs Whiskey and Wimmen in particular. --- S.

Originally released in 1975 and re-released in 1995. It's the blues, man -- actually it's the blues according to John Lee Hooker which is some of my favorite of all music beyond the blues. There's just something about John that makes me believe that this is the blues. That's the Chicago Blues for ya. The kind that's just one man with his guitar on a stool up on a dark smokey stage with a few people listening. Honestly I don't even think John knew how important he was to music. His simplicity in delivery, his minimalism in his guitar, yet his power in all of this is everything that drawls me in. It is all featured here. --- rateyourmusic.com
