Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cream (Audio CD)
IF you get this excellent 1977 concert at the Keystone in Palo Alto, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE TWO CD VERSION!!!!! IT has FOUR additional tracks: Little Girl, Louise, When My First Wife Left Me and Boogie On!!! This TWO cd version is the 2001 FUEL 2000/Varese Sarabande version, NOT the Charly or Tomato versions!!! 'Nuf said!

SMOKIN!!!!,

This review is from: Cream (Audio CD)
This is one of the sweetest sounding Johnny Lee live CD's I have ever heard. The sound quality is excellent, and Hooker's voice is so great it scares me. This is a must for anyone who likes down home smokin & drinkin blues to the bone. Damnnn!!

One of the great live blues records,
By Johnny Boy "The Record Collector" (Hockessin, DE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cream (Audio CD)
While 'The Cream' may sound like a greatest-hits record, it's actually not. It's John Lee Hooker just jamming with his group during a concert in California in late 1977. You get some of his finest songs here.
Among the sides: A stunning live version of 'When My First Baby Left Me,' a killer version of 'Tupelo,' and a mighty fine version of 'Rock Steady.' Hooker's band is also mighty fine as well. I don't know the exact personnel, but they just jam along with John Lee Hooker. Overall, if you've never purchased a live album from John Lee Hooker, this is a mighty fine album to start with. Highly recommended for any John Lee Hooker fan. A classic. ENJOY!!!

The Hook Cookin' With Gas - And The Some!,
By
This review is from: Cream (Audio CD)
Pure class. Hooker on top of his game with a backingband that suits him perfectly,
playing slow, mellow grooves that keeps on building, with Hooker supplying some lightningsharp guitar work, that's so raw you'll see sparks flying. Amazing stuff! Sometimes they hit a groove that's so tight it's hypnotic. Keith Richards once said; "If you want heavy metal, talk to John Lee Hooker, listen to that motherf###er play. That's heavy metal. That's armour!". And that's a quote that really sticks to this album. |
