Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Give me another menthol cigarette! Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Quality John Lee Record Comment: This is a great blues album and one of John Lee's better studio albums. Van Man shows on up the title cut, which is great. TB Sheets is one of the saddest songs very recorded. The rest of the album is pretty jumpy boogie style blues. As John Lee says this is a party album...If you can find it, Buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: sounds really cool Comment: 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! Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely one of the best examples of good heavy blues Comment: 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... More Reviews
