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!

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...

To me, this is kind of the sister album to Endless Boogie. ALthough, not as much boogie blues, it retains some of the same live-in-the-studio-jammin feel to it and it came out in the early 70s. As usual, this album is dismissed by the critics because it doesn't have his most noteable songs on it. If you want some more Hooker in the same style as Endless Boogie, you'll probably like this.

I have this on the original LP version and pretty much wore it out! One very good John Lee Hooker CD that features many guest performers like Van Morrison and Charlie Musselwhite. I have more than a few John Lee Hooker albums but this is one of my favorites!!

This was the first blues album I ever heard, on some budget LP in the late '70's. An ear-opening experience. The dialogue between guitar and vocal on 'Bumblebee, Bumblebee' has a kind of expansive discursiveness (with or without chemical enhancement) that can stay with you the rest of your life.
John Lee Hooker was Spiritual. God rest him. +

I've been a JLH fan ever since my ears were opened in 1971, by a copy of

"Hooker 'N Heat". Man I have never been far from that crazy JLH beat

since. The beat of the metal presses of old Detroit, the musio running

before the storm, the expectation of something bad about to break, all

handled with an aplomb that would make our saints look radical. This

disc-"Never get out of these bluses Alive" the title saya it more

eloquent than it could have been said by anyone else, pure impact, it says

to me, "yeah things are mighty askew, and we may not be able to do much

about it, so let's put on "Never get out of these blues alive" and go

about our daily lives, the old "move along, nothing to see" I write to

the beat of John Lee Hooker, and as an added bonus feature, the 7th. and

last cut of the disc has two old Paul Butterfield Blues Band alums

playing with the Hook, Elvin Bishop, and Mark Nafalin, there is John Kahn

from Garcia & Saunders roving band of musician's playing base on cut #6.

But thats what I always loved about JLH, his ability to gather musicians

around him, and school them that needs it in the ways of them motor city

blues.
