5.0 out of 5 stars Make it Funky!, October 10, 2000

This album is one of the most excellent oddities in the Boogie King's catalogue. This is best described as John Lee Hooker does a funk album. Definitely not for blues purists. There are a few straight up and down blues numbers like 'Settin' on top of the world', and 'Five Long Years', but other numbers find John dropped straight into a well-oiled, psychedlic funk machine (replete with violin solos!). I'd recommend this album to open minded John Lee Hooker fans, and also those who are into Funkadelic. 5 star weirdness.

Not for the blues purest. Strickly for the fans of Mr. Hooker. Not my fav CD but still captures his musical stylings.

Hello there... This is an excellent heavy party album - sit around by the camp fire, drink beer and don't bother talking cause the music will drown you out. John Lee Hooker at his best. I'm only a 20 something - but I love it - so does my Dad - bridge that hippy generation gap with this one...
