[.ca] John Lee Hooker, Best O

From Amazon.com:
Not comprehensive by any stretch of the imagination--there's only 12 tracks, for heaven's sake--this is still a pretty good collection for the casual or beginning John Lee Hooker fan. The remastering job on these tracks is excellent, and the material is topnotch, from the barfly's anthem "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" to the down-deep-in-the-blues "It Serves You Right to Suffer." All of the songs are served up with Hooker's trademark boogie-woogie sound, and it just doesn't get any better than that. --Genevieve Williams

muddled sound:
I just purchased this based on reading reviews. Should have been aware of anything "remastered". Sound is very muddled. Now I am unsure of all reviews that I read on here. Would have felt taken if I had bought this in bargain bin much less for this price.

good one but lacks deapth.:
this is a good one, but lacks deapth. in 'country blues of john lee hooker' he is really deep in the blues. 'country blues' consists of all his original songs. he plays an acoustic guitar and sings alone. you may try 'country blues of john lee hooker', too.

abslolutely a must, outstanding music and quality sound:
This is such a treat, especially for those who have heard the old time recordings . A wonderful job of presenting the old music with nearly zero sound defects. If you like Junior Wells' Hoodoo Man Blues, this you will like even better! A bit quicker and more toe-tapping.

Very essential:
John Lee Hooker is One Of The Greatest Artists Ever.His Guitar Playing & SInging are timeless.He takes the Blues too a Whole Different Level.This Genius has Been Incredible for So Long.& He is Still Going Strong.

The Perfect Starter CD:
This CD is great for those of you that enjoy the more upbeat side of Johnny Lee. Think Twice Before You Go and Sugar Mama really stand out to me. It is one of the first blues discs I ever purchased and my taste in music has never been the same. I feel this is a must for any newcomer to the blues. Its worth it.
