Blues fans will be pleasantly surprised by this recording pairing the master himself with some of the finest musicians alive today. Special mention should be made of "I Cover the Waterfront" and "Don't Look Back" which feature the soulful voice and guitar of Van Morrison, as well as the familiar touch of Carlos Santana in "The Healer". Last, but certainly not least, adorers of Bonnie Raitt will love the playful duet she and Hooker provide in "I'm in the Mood".

BUY THIS CD, lower the lights, crank up the volume, and be swept away. You won't regret it.

If you love the electric blues and blues slide guitar, this is a must-have album for your collection. Many of the songs are instantly recognizable blues patterns that have set the style for generations of blues and rock superstars. John Lee Hooker is on a par with B.B. King, Robert Johnson and other classic great blues artists. The repertoire of session musicians from the likes of Carlos Santana, Jimmy Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, and Eric Clapton are not to be missed. John Lee Hooker set a blues standard - get this album.

One of the best songs ever and these skeezers know it...come on!!! We would pay $2 for that single, Give It!

My husband and I are great Blues fans with a particular liking for John Lee Hooker. Our friend James brought the CD around at New Year and we just had to have it. Blues music is a bit hard to come by in the local music stores which tend focus on more commercial stuff. WE have quite a few John Lee CDs and this one rounds off the collection nicely. I particularly like track 6 with Bonnie Raitt and the Santana one

Recommend highly to any Blues fan

I was pleased with the version of the older tunes. It did not sound like an old scratchy record recorded in the 40s!
