Blues in D Natural
Performer: John Lee Hooker
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Cousins Earl and John Lee Hooker were both masters of the blues, but rarely recorded together. This remastered reissue of the long out of print FAMILY MATTERS is a great opportunity to hear them strut their stuff on hot blues numbers like "If You Miss 'Em, I Got 'Em."
John Lee Hooker is the most elemental of the electric blues giants. His spooky musical minimalism--plaintive yet powerful vocals coupled with guitar work alternately haunting and toe-tapping--has inspired countless artists, from contemporaries like Slim Harpo to acolytes the Rolling Stones. Few, however, can summon up the inexplicable erotic charge at the heart of Hooker's best performances. The patented "boogie" rhythm upon which seemingly every blues-rock and hard rock band of the 1970s wrought variations was virtually invented by Hooker. One of the most-recorded post-war bluesmen, Hooker released records on countless labels, working much of the time in Detroit and Chicago. He kept working well into his eighties, his style growing ever more refined and penetrating.
