A milestone in the careers of all involved. For the Hook, this was the venerable bluesmans first time on the pop-album charts. For Canned Heat, it was, sadly, the last recording with Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, whod be dead of a drug overdose just months later. This 1971 double LP is here on 2 CDs, and its a blues-boogie masterpiece. This 1971 collaboration between primal one-part-Delta/one-part-Detroit singer-guitarist John Lee Hooker and Southern California blues revivalists Canned Heat works in large part because all parties involved are a little off. Hooker, the most unsystematic of the major bluesmen of his generation, isnt a good fit for disciplined players; rather, he requires sidemen who play by feel. In harp player-guitarist Alan Wilson, the Crawling King Snake found a particularly sympathetic foil; sadly, Wilson died shortly after these sessions were completed. Roughly divided into spare, gritty Delta exercises and full-on boogie stomps featuring the full band, Hooker n Heat is surely one of Canned Heats crowning moments, which isnt saying that much. But that it stands as a milestone in Hookers oeuvre is quite a statement indeed!
