This album falls distinctly into the former class John Lee Hooker, a 54-year-old blues legend in his own right, is sympathetically accompanied by the likes of Jesse Davis, Carl Radle, Steve Miller, Gino Scaggs and Mark Naftalin and the end product is a double-album set of unadulterated Hooker portraits in blues.I use the word "portraits" without hesitation. Hooker has long been a master at the extended built - around - a - foot - stomping-beat kind of blues as well as the quick, boogie-based instrumental. He nearly outdoes himself here on "Pots On. Gas On High." "A Sheep Out On the Foam" as well as the tersely effective "Kick Hit 4 Hit Kix U (Blues for Jimi and Janis)," all solid, rambling tunes. Examples of the more mainstream "Boogie Chillun" Hooker approach include the title song, the harp-studded "House Rent Boogie" and the blues gospel shortie "Doin' the Shout." Throughout, it's Hooker all the way he makes it his brand of blues with the case and dexterity of the genius he is all the textures and highlights paced with his ever-churning, heavy-bassed clectric guitar and his rough down-and-out voice. - by Gary von Tersh (Rolling Stone)
