Hooker 'n Heat
Together these guys are phenomenal!. I've got all of John Lee Hookers stuff and all of Canned Heat's.


A Gem
Probably my favorite find of all time. I remember finding this album t=years ago in a used record store. This is pure. Pure truth, pure love and a voice and presence bigger than anything I have ever heard. The king of the boogie and one of the architects of electric blues . . . . what a monster. God bless John Lee. There is no doubt in my mind that when Gods having a down day, he calls John Lee in and everythings alright. Don't think about missing this one.


'Hooker & Heat '..Jammin'..harpin' heaven...
Alan Wilsons [pre-suicide] respect and harmonica 'call & response' to John Lees creative outpourings are like nothing else before or since. Simply 'the best' for the voodoo of truely great Harmonica boogie improvisation. What a session. This record is a highly influencial album in my life and stands as a great example of 'electric Harmonica' tone and technique. I would give my 'coolies' for Al's amplifier and wonderful style. Meanwhile The whole band sounds very excited and committed to honoring their session with the legendary boogieman. What more to say? The tunes are often long improvised 'jams', spread with 'solo' loose tunes with John Lee Hooker, his words, guitar and ever tapping foot. This historical recording is not everybodys 'cup of tea' but if you want 'real' trance like boogie and blues with that primitive rhythmic vibe this is 'the ducks guts'. .


Hooker and Canned Heat
Maybe I will take it to the gym with me today and maybe it will help me with my workout. I guess Hooker is not my kind of blues, nothing against it, though.


Classic Stuff
The first CD mostly features JLH alone-- stompin' & cookin' up the sparse & emotional groove that is uniquely his. This is a great set, a raw & spontaneous jam session (what else would you expect from these guys?) with a production quality that almost sounds like it was recorded just yesterday. The second CD features more of Canned Heat with some excellent guitar & harp work by the band. The last cut, Boogie Chillen #2, is worth the purchase alone, especially if you're a harmonica fan.
