John Lee Hooker got everywhere. He recorded under more than a dozen different names, for a variety of different labels and as a result has a huge catalogue of music to his name. For a while he also became the white man's favourite black man. He was probably the closest anyone got to becoming commercial mainstream blues music.
Nowhere is this more evident than on " Boom Boom ", released relatively late in Hooker's career but no doubt in existence earlier, if not in this exact form. Covered I dont know how many times by artists as diverse as the Yardbirds and the Animals and, I think, John Barry, it is just one of those tracks which remains timeless.
Rating: 6/10
