It captures music from different times in his career, from his first "hit," "Boogie Chillen'" to "Boom Boom" to "I'm Bad Like Jesse James" to "Terraplane Blues."I'll mention just a few to illustrate. "Boogie Chillen'" is noted as his first hit (1949). The guitar playing is extremely simple--but almost hypnotic in its effect. The simple riff is described by Hooker as "just an old funky lick I found." One theme is how boogie woogie is just trying to get out of him!"Boom Boom" features a good ensemble playing well together. This song became visible after the Animals covered it and reached a wider audience. A nice set of lines well sung:"She walked that walk and talked that talk;And whispered in my ear,And tell me that you love me.I love that talkWhen you talk like that."His distinctive voice well serves this song."I'm Bad like Jesse James" begins with the central tag line for the song: "I'm mad, I'm bad like Jesse James." This is a story-telling song, telling what the singer is planning for someone who fooled around with his wife. And he gets mad (like Jesse James). He describes three guys he knows who will take care of the bad guy. He goes through a few scenarios, warning off the cad. Pretty graphic! The rhythmic drum playing works well, accenting the development of the story. This is classic John Lee Hooker.This is a nice introduction to the work of one of the legendary blues singers. Those interested in learning more about the blues would be well advised to consider this CD. ### ⭐⭐⭐ good compilation *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013* I love this guy like every fan of blues does, but this compilation could (and should) be better: of course, 2 discs with the earlier records is an indisputable valuable reporting, though some of the tracks are with bands and a kind of of orchestration arrangement. The album could embrace all his carreer, it could include the 60ies, 70ies and 80ies, and some 4 or 5 songs of the classic titanic album with canned heat deserved to be there. Whatever, any of the LPs by the emperor-master of the one-man electric blues is good to get and hear. I indicate for HIS fans specially and blues lovers generally. "boogie chillen" worths the day! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John Lee Hooker, blues artist at his finest *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2013* First off I must admit that I don't generally follow blues. Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf just don't appeal to me. But there is something about John Lee Hooker, with his very basic music and raw vocals, that appeals to me. This is a collection of Hooker to be sure, but one of the best out there, and it stands well with it's contemporaries. Favorites on the disc are Boom Boom, Boogie Chillin', as well as such darker tracks as I'm Bad Like Jesse James and Deacon Jones. All in all, it is a good introduction to Hooker and to blues in general. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21805746-very-best](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21805746-very-best) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
