JOHN LEE HOOKER
'The Big Soul Of John Lee Hooker'
Originally released 1963
San Francisco / Take A Look At Yourself / Send Me Your Pillow / She Shot Me Down / I Love Her / Old Time Shimmy
You Know I Love You / Big Soul / Good Rocking Mama / Onions / No One Told Me
Jumping into the R&B and soul explosions of the early '60s -- or at least dipping his toe into them -- he's backed here by the Vandellas, no less, on all but one of the 11 songs here. And coupled with an uncredited band that includes organ accompaniment, among other attributes that one doesn't usually associate with Hooker, he pulls it off. Indeed, he manages to straddle blues and soul far better than, say, Muddy Waters did during this same period; he's still a little too intense for the more pop side of the field, but he's also stretching the appeal of the blues with every nuance on this record, and there are a few cuts here, such as "Send Me Your Pillow" that would have fit on any of Hooker's far more traditional-sounding blues releases; and others, such as "She Shot Me Down" (a rewrite of "Boom Boom"), that are so close to his well-known standard repertory that they slip right into his output without explanation.
This reissue LP is brand new and sealed!
