Editorial Reviews
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
Song title "Boogie with the Hook" fairly well sums up this 19~1 San Francisco studio affair that included harmonica player Charlie Musslewhite, guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mel Brown, and rock singer Van Morrison. Take several deep breaths before hearing the Hooker requiem "T.B. Sheets." -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
Customer Reviews
sounds really cool
Yes! This is a forgotten gem. Very nice stuff indeed. Whoever wrote TB-sheets (Van Morrison I still believe), this is a crying time song, thrilling. Also the duet with Van The Man Morrison is breathtakin'. And what about Charlie Musselwhite, just great. It's an old record, and you can tell, but it sounds like a real classic and as fresh as ever. Get it!
Absolutely one of the best examples of good heavy blues
This is a very powerful type of blues, with heavy bass lines and of course, John Lee's throaty voice. Very laid back, not so much down in the dumps, but kind of grinning to yourself about your own situation... what I like to call "ballsy blues." Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop both appear on this one- and Mr. Van makes a great duet voice with Mr. Hooker... definitely my personal favorite blues album...
Quality John Lee Record
This is a great blues album and one of John Lee's better studio albums. Van Man shows on up the title cut, which is great. TB Sheets is one of the saddest songs very recorded. The rest of the album is pretty jumpy boogie style blues. As John Lee says this is a party album...If you can find it, Buy it.
