Review: ***B-STOCK: Record slightly warped***
John Lee Hooker's Burning Hell is a searing and intense album that captures the raw power and emotion of the blues. Originally released in 1964, the album has been reissued on vinyl and remains n important milestone to Hooker's artistry. The album opens with the title track, a slow-burning blues that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Hooker's vocals are raw and passionate, and his guitar playing is both hypnotic and driving. The album also features several classic blues standards, including 'Baby Please Don't Go' and 'Key to the Highway.' The album is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and amaze listeners today.
Review: Released on Impulse! Records in 1966, this collection by John Lee Hooker offers a mix of both new compositions and reworkings of tunes that Hooker had previously recorded. Including a cover of Barrett Strong's 1959 Motown hit 'Money (That's What I Want)' - following in the musical footsteps of The Beatles, who recorded it three years earlier - this vindictively titled record is a fitting fusion of grievous Delta and raw blues; filled with schadenfreude and passion; transience and regret; vitality and poise; it's some of the best John Lee Hooker material you're likely to come across in this decade.
