John Lee Hooker- WANDERING BLUES- CD- 1994/1995- Castle Communication PLC- 5026389518924- 400 grn
This is a collection of very early tracks by John Lee and almost all are played without a backing band. The recording quality ranges from bad to worse throughout the CD but you can hardly expect glossy 5.1 surround sound because these songs are probably over 50 years old. What you get here is a slice of classic Blues & Boogie by one of the most influential musicians ever. This is raw, emotional, top notch Blues. Favourite tracks are probably ''Morning Blues'' and ''Wandering Blues'' but there are a couple of tracks that let the collection down by being almost completely inaudible. One tends to think of John Lee Hooker primarily as a Rhythm and Blues artist who recorded numerous albums from the 1960s through to the early 2000s. But Hooker’s roots – in the facts of his life, not merely in terms of influences on him – went all the way back to country blues. Hooker died in June of 2001. When exactly he was born is unclear; at various times the year of his birth has been said to be as early as 1912 and as late as 1923. A date between 1912 and 1917 seems likeliest. He was the son of a Mississippi sharecropper (and Baptist preacher) William Hooker. After the separation of his parents, he was much influenced by his stepfather William Moore, a local guitar playing bluesman. Moore tutored his stepson and, through Moore, the young Hooker met such blues greats as Charley Paton and Blind Lemon Jefferson. In his teens – some say around the age of 14, others when he was 17 – John Lee left home and made his way around Mississippi (and beyond), playing and singing the blues and scratching a living however he could. By the mid-1930s he working in Memphis, Tennessee and during the war years he was in Detroit, employed in factories there but also an habitué of the blues clubs and bars. Until his time in Detroit he played the acoustic guitar, but while in Detroit he switched to electric guitar. His origins and his travels gave him a familiarity with the Delta blues and the blues of Northern Mississippi, as well with Baptist spirituals. In Detroit he was introduced to the new electric urban blues. Along the way he had developed an idiosyncratic guitar style based on boogie-woogie. This is the best compilation of early Hooker, even better than the Specialty CD`s. You start listening to this one and you find yourself "Goin`Mad Blues".
