| .::: Info ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::. |
| |
| Death, as they say, can be a good career move. That's a |
| cynical attitude to take toward the passing of one of the |
| greatest legends in blues--in fact, one of the greatest |
| legends of American music--but it's hard not to get |
| cynical in the wake of all the reissues and dusted-off old |
| recordings that have hit the shelves in the wake of John |
| Lee Hooker's death in June 2001. That said, the aptly |
| named The Cream is worth a listen. Recorded in Palo Alto |
| in 1977, this live concert recording captures Hooker in a |
| relaxed mood, taking things easy and jamming with the |
| band. It's a good, solid set, especially in its closing |
| number, "Boogie On," a jamming version of Hooker's classic |
| "Boogie Chillen" that features some nice harp work from |
| Charlie Musselwhite. While The Cream doesn't threaten the |
| pride of place of Hooker's live Newport recording (itself |
| recently reissued), it's plenty satisfying on its own |
| terms. --Genevieve Williams |
