span style="font-size:200JOHN LEE HOOKER MR LUCKY
Released: 1991 Label: Point Blank Format: Mp3@320  John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon are the last of a generation of giants that plugged Mississippi's Delta blues into urban America. Dixon went to Chicago and became a mainstay at Chess Records, where he played bass, produced, arranged and wrote songs for electrified Delta wailers such as Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, who, like Hooker, had migrated to the Windy City from rural Mississippi. Hooker left Mississippi and eventually made his way to Detroit nightclubs, so noisy that his only recourse was to strum his open tuned guitar with such ferocity he put an indelible stamp on rock & roll. Blame it on the boogie and you’re blaming it on John Lee Hooker. Mr. Lucky refines the strategy of The Healer, from 1989, which paired Hooker with a variety of rootsy rockers who had been touched by his rhythmic mojo. The stars on this outing aren't rock stars paying tribute to a legend, but superb sidemen for a great bluesman. Van Morrison, pays his own tribute to Hooker by joining him for a duet on a masterful "I Cover the Waterfront". The best boogie features a piano pumped by Chuck Berry's own Johnnie Johnson, whose work on "I Want to Hug You" reflects Hooker's affinity for vintage rhythm & blues. There is the muscular shuffle on the Robert Cray Band's rendering of the title tune and Carlos Santana's tastefully modern treatment of "Stripped Me Naked." Guitarists Keith Richards and Johnny Winter inspire gritty collaborations on, respectively, "Crawlin' Kingsnake" and "Susie." In the end, the true peaks on the album bring it all back home. "This Is Hip," with its gospel voices and Ry Cooder's sanctified slide guitar, bears a touch of the church, while "Highway 13" and "Father Was a Jockey" are flat-out Delta blues with splendid accompaniment by guitarist John Hammond. As Hooker moves musically from the city back to the Delta on Mr. Lucky, he travels a circle that remains truly unbroken.
