Your cart is empty.
Your cart is empty.2011 two CD collection from the Blues legend. The music of John Lee Hooker is that of a unique innovator and Blues icon. His legacy chronicles, and mirrors, the journey that the Blues travelled in his own lifetime: migrating from the rural Delta to the tough urban environs of Memphis, Detroit, Cincinnati and Chicago before becoming an international musical language. This authoritative collection brings together 50 of John Lee's key works, including numerous original hits cut for the Vee-Jay label between 1955-1964, gritty, Folk-Blues 'live' recordings made at two Newport Folk Festivals in the early 1960s and raw, visceral band performances captured in Palo Alto and Chicago in 1977. Metro Select.

Music is flawless; I'm more concerned that I was sold a CDr rather than a pressed Silver CD, without any indication from Amazon. Too cheap to send back but not really happy, feels like an inferior product

Tout d'abord une voix, une voix de conteur, qui nous embarque dès les premières notes. La voix d'un homme qui a vécula ségrégation raciale avec son cortège de misère et d'humiliation.Ensuite une guitare qui passe du folk/blues au blues pur et dur. A noter qu'il y a six morceaux live et non l'intégralitécomme le mentionne Amazon. Le reste c'est du studio de la période 1955-1964. Le son est très bon. Les deux albums sont glissésdans un digipack qui contient un mini poster de Hooker au verso quelques notes en anglais.Un bon best of pour pénétrer l'univers de John Lee Hooker. Pour les curieux un livre sur le blues intéressant avec une belle analyse de l'auteur:.

This is a wonderful laid back record. Only slight moan i have is apart from a few pops and clicks the last track on record two suffers from constant clicks for the last minute or so. Also packaged in the dreaded paper sleeve however after cleaning before playing return the record into a new poly sleeve. Is it worth returning for minor flaws?. I don't think so as a few pops and clicks is part and parcel of the joy of vinyl. One star removed for album sleeves.

I have no qualms about the quality of the item but I did take a chance ordering it, expecting an Lp record, and what I received is a CD.

Although advertised as an LP record, you'll end up with a compact disc. Hopefully this item description will be changed once and for all to avoid further mix-ups with other buyers?

Just like Aero9k ( Saabs rule!) I ordered what I thought - based on the description - to be a vinyl record. You would think that "LP Record" would mean an actual LP Record. It is round and has a hole in the middle but those are the only similarities.How long will it take before they correct the description.....I'm sure the CD will be just fine.

If you're looking for the LP of this album save your time and money. This listing isn't accurate and despite contacting the sellers they still haven't fixed it.

Conocer la laberíntica discografía de John Lee Hooker es una tarea realmente complicada. Más complicada todavía resulta la tarea de intentar conseguir sus mejores álbumes, sin caer en la trampa de las discografías que, demasiado a menudo, nos complican las cosas repitiendo sesiones en diferentes CDs o LPs."Boogie Chillun" fue publicado en formato doble LP originalmente en 1974 y años más tarde en este cd que nos ocupa. Las grabaciones corresponden a unos conciertos que Hooker dio en Sugar Hill (San Francisco) en noviembre de 1962. Sólo John Lee Hooker y su guitarra eléctrica, en unos shows íntimos donde encontramos al bluesman real del Delta de Mississippi en su auténtica salsa.Como os comentaba anteriormente, estas grabaciones son uno de esos casos en que nos podemos llevar alguna que otra sorpresa desagradable, porque también fue publicado en Europa por Ace Records en cd bajo el título "Live At The Sugar Hill - Volumes 1 & 2", con la particularidad además de que cada edición suprimió un tema diferente para que su duración no excediese de un único cd: en "Boogie Chillun" se suprimió "Matchbox" y en "Live At Sugar Hill" se suprimió "I Was Standing By The Wayside".Para mayor confusión, en el 2002 se publicó "Live At Sugar Hill Vol.2" en formato cd, que recoge diferentes grabaciones de las mismas fechas, y que es el complemento perfecto para esta publicación.En mi opinión no es de lo mejor de su extensa discografía, aunque se acerca bastante. Tiene el aliciente extra de ser una grabación en directo, tal cual, sin trampa ni cartón, como debe ser.I Just Can't Hold On Much LongerI'm Gonna Keep On WalkingI Was Standing By The WaysideT. B.
