JOHN LEE HOOKER & FRIENDS - I’M IN THE MOOD FOR
LOVE
In the 1940’s and ‘50’s, the great John Lee Hooker
bridged deep Delta an electrified Chicago blues in a series of
singles that redefined R%B – and found eager listeners in the
generation that came of age in the ‘60’s. Her Hooker gives a series
of powerful live performances enhanced by the contributions of some
of those younger stars: Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, Ry Cooder,
Robert Cray, Albert Collins and Charlie Musselwhite.
“Crawlin’ King Snake,” “I’m in the Mood,” “Father Was a
Jockey,” and “Mister Lucky” – these are among the classic John Lee
Hooker songs that Hooker and his guests open up here. Ry Cooder adds
his moody stylings to three Hooker performances, to great effect.
Bonnie Raitt an Hooker conjure some sensual blues magic. Robert Cray
adds swing and verve to Hooker’s trademark groove.
Hooker’s
own band rocks too, as seen especially in the rousing finale: the
band is joined by a huge host of the younger featured artists, who
turn “The Boogie” into a musical and personal celebration of the
legendary blues pioneer John Lee Hooker.
