JOHN LEE HOOKER "IT SERVE YOU RIGHT TO SUFFER"
2010 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE IMPULSE! REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, EDITION LIMITED TO 1,500 NUMBERED COPIES, THIS IS COPY #99, SOLD-OUT EDITION, DELUXE GATEFOLD COVER, BOB THIELE PRODUCER, MASTERED AT RTI USA, PRESSED BY SCHALLPLATTENFABRIK PALLAS GMBH AND CATALOG NUMBER A-9103.
"JOHN LEE HOOKER HIMSELF DID NOT KNOW HIS EXACT DATE OF BIRTH, IF HE HADN'T DIED AT AROUND THE AGE OF 80, THIS AGELESS MUSICIAN WOULD STILL BE EASILY PULLING THE NEXT GENERATION TO HIS GIGS. HOOKER REMAINS A PHENOMENON, A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE OF RHYTHM AND BLUES, A CHARISMATIC KING WHO REIGNS SUPREME IN ROCK 'N' ROLL'S HALL OF FAME."
"ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON IMPULSE IN 1966, "IT SERVE YOU RIGHT TO SUFFER" SERVES UP EIGHT TRACKS OF TOPNOTCH BLUES, COMPLETE WITH THE BOOGIE GROOVE THAT JOHN LEE HOOKER BECAME SYNONYMOUS WITH. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE THE TITLE TRACK, THE UPTEMPO, LOW-KEY "SHAKE IT BABY". THE RELAXED BUT RHYTHMICALLY TIGHT "COUNTRY BOY", THE DANCEABLE "BOTTLE UP & GO", AND THE SLOW, SEXY SHUFFLE OF "SUGAR MAMA". EVERYTHING HERE, BASICALLY, IS HYPNOTIC AND ENGAGING."
"AND ANOTHER SURPRISE IS IN STORE FOR THOSE WHO COMPARE HOOKER'S LATE RECORDINGS WITH THOSE MADE IN THE SIXTIES. HIS UNMISTAKABLE, RAW VOICE HAS FULLY MATURED, BUT HIS INCANTATORY STYLE OF SINGING APPEARS MARKEDLY FINER AND MORE FLEXIBLE. AND THEN THERE IS THE PERFECT GEM OF A RHYTHM GROUP WHOSE SINEWY SOUNDS FILL THE GROOVES WITH MERCILESS GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. NO WONDER THIS IS ONE OF THE BLUES ICON'S MOST FORMIDABLE AFFAIRS."
