- Not Now Music Limited- 5060143495182- 500 grn
All THE VEE-JAY SINGLES plus five bonus tracks digitally remastered on 2CDs!!! Never an easy bluesman to accompany, John Lee Hooker at Vee-Jay discovered recording accompanists who could and did follow his idiosyncratic style deftly, from Jimmy Reed (harmonica) and Eddie Taylor (guitar) to even the legendary anchors-to-be at Motown (bassist James Jamerson, drummer Benny Benjamin). They hung with the Hook whether he was laying down one of his patented boogies or going slow, down, and dirty - and Hooker going slow, down, and dirty is as haunting as the blues gets. You get a few remakes ("Boogie Chillen," "I'm In The Mood," "Crawling King Snake") and several legendary sides ("Dimples," "Solid Sender," "Time Is Marching," and especially "Boom Boom"), and if the remakes won't make you forget his first versions from his preceding Modern period, you'll find they hold very well in their own right here. Most of Hooker's Vee-Jay albums worth seeking out, but if you want a compact idea of just how significant that period of his career was to him - especially given the influence these sides would wield among the British blues kids who drew from him almost as often as they drew from the Chicago bluesmen congregated around Chess and Cobra/Chief - this is the set to get. It's as good as it gets for an early showing that, even working with and challenging a band setting, Hooker was a far deeper bluesman than the endless-boogie image ever suggested. With his simple, hypnotic boogie rhythms, John Lee Hooker is arguably the most influential of all post Wold War II bluesmen. The 40 tracks form only part of the musical legacy John Lee left to the world. But even if you only measure them by their influence [the Doors covered ‘Crawlin’ Kingsnake’, guitarist Wilko Johnson named his group the Solid Senders, the list goes on] they earn their place in any blues CD collection.
