- Synopsis:
In the 1940s and '50's, the great John Lee Hooker bridged deep Delta and electrified Chicago blues in a series of singles that redefined R&B - and found eager listeners in the generations that came of age in the '60's. Here Hooker gives a series of powerful live performances enhanced by the contributions of some of those young 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 Codder adds his moody stylings to three Hooker performances, to great effect. Bonnie Raitt and 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.
