All Star Cast

By Russell Diederich VINE VOICE on June 12, 2001

Format: Audio CD

When one of the most revered blues guitarists asks for help on his album, there is no shortage of great talent to show up. The likes of Santana, Ry Cooder, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, John Hammond, and Robert Cray (to name just a few) come out in support of "Mr. Lucky", the follow up guest album to "The Healing". But, John Lee Hooker doesn't need all of this talent to put out a great blues album.
Robert Cray shows up on the title cut of this album providing some great leads to Hooker's rhythm. A tune that makes Hooker "... feel a little better". Albert Collins steps in for "Backstabbers" providing a powerful presence that only he was capable of. All you have to hear is one note of Collins to know it's him. "I Cover the Waterfront" is a haunting tune with Van Morrison taking over the guitar work and Booker T. Jones on organ. Morrison's voice complements the low-boom of Hooker's. Another highlight is Santana's work on "Stripped Me Naked".
Hooker's Delta Blues sound is hypnotizing, and his deep voice is lazy and sweet. There are very few that have shaped the sound of music, especially the blues, as he has. This album, a tribute of sorts, is a must for blues lovers. To hear so much talent gathered in one place playing with a legend like Hooker gives me the chills.

John Lee and friends make a fine record in the autumn years

By The Guardian TOP 500 REVIEWER on April 9, 2011

Format: Audio CD

John Lee Hooker's deep, baritone growl and infectious boogie rhythms personify the sound of original delta blues like no-one else, and have almost certainly influenced more blues and rock musicians worldwide than anyone else in the 20th century. `Mr. Lucky' released in 1991 was John Lee's second Pointblank label collaboration album (following on from 1989's `The Healer'), where a stellar cast of younger musicians stand in line for the honor of recording with the great master: Albert Collins, Van Morrison, Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Carlos Santana, Johnnie Johnson, Robert Cray, Johnny Winter and Keith Richards all feature and the result is a fitting tribute to one of the 20th century's most iconic and enduring natural talents.

The result is better than you might expect. Stand-out tracks would be boogie-woogie numbers `Father was a jockey', `I want to hug you', `Stripped me naked' and the slow 6-minute `I cover the waterfront' with Van Morrison's soulful tenor proving the perfect counterpoint to John Lee's rich, low-register soul-croon in a sublime duet which lingers in memory.

The album contains some of John Lee's last great recordings, and is worthy of any serious collection.

Mr. Lucky, my review from Barcelona

By Bluesman From Barcelona on July 28, 2007

Format: Audio CD

If you are going to give an opinion about a John Lee Hooker's record, you must have present that your talking about one of the most important bluesmen of all times and this is not easy. Hooker has a very extensive discography. In my opinion he has records on several levels, but most of them are on a high level. This 'Mr. Lucky' is really good and even more if you take into account the contributions of his companions (Johnnie Johnson, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, Van Morrison, John Hammond, Carlos Santana, Johnny Winter, Keith Richards). All the songs are good, although I am partial to "I want to hug you" with Johnnie Johnson playing piano, "Mr. Lucky", "Backstabbers", "Stripped me naked", with Robert Cray, the impressive Albert Collins and Carlos Santana starting a row with their guitars (and in the case of Cray also with his extraordinary voice), "Susie" with an electrifying Johnny Winter's guitar solo, and closing this good LP "Father was a jockey" with the magnificent Jonh Hammond on guitar and harmonica. As a whole, a great disk. I recommend and I give it 4 stars.

This is hip, pretty baby...messed around and fell in love

By Mike VINE VOICE on December 25, 2007

Format: Audio CD

First, I'm grateful that John Lee spent the final years of his life sharing his music with the world. I'm not even going to get into an argument about whether this is "pure" JLH in light of the guest musicians. I challenge anyone to listen to "This Is Hip," featuring Ry Cooder, and find fault. The same holds true for "Crawlin' Kingsnake," with Keith Richards and Canned Heat's Larry Taylor. When this album came out in 1991 it was a very welcome blast of John Lee, who STILL didn't care what they allowed...he boogied anyhow. He was still full of attitude and rocked harder than most musicians half his age.

Hooker and Friends Rock the House

By SUPERMAN on June 20, 2015

Format: Audio CD

This is an excellent piece of work by John Lee Hooker. Plenty of famous guest guitarists (Ry Cooder, Keith Richards, Albert King, John Hammond, Carlos Santana) pay tribute to the master. I was told not to expect too much from a friend before I got this one, boy, they could have not been more wrong. No weak tracks and closes with a classic track ("Jockey"), thanks to the great John Hammond.

Mr Lucky is Enjoyable

By Mr. T. Adams on August 8, 2015

Format: Audio CD

Mr Lucky is my favourite cd from one of the kings of blues. It's also well recorded, and the sound is crystal clear. I just wish someone would make a digitally remastered issue of some of his classics that weren't recorded the way they deserved to be heard. One of the true legends of Blues!!!!

THIS IS HIP!

By Bill on May 19, 2013

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

John Lee and company are in fine, mostly rockin' form on this follow up to THE HEALER, the 1989 album that brought Hooker a whole new legion of fans.
The title track and This Is Hip are among The Hook's best records of the 1990's, and the guest list supporting this effort is a who's who of sidemen and superstars of blues/rock. Mr Lucky is NOT TO BE MISSED!

Not my favorite "HOOK" but good enough---but the jacket cover is worth whatever price is being charged to a collector like me

great album

This is a must have for blues fans. Impressive array of guest artists including Robert Cray and Johnny Winter. Some newer stuff, and some older stuff redone.
