#638 John Lee Hooker – The Healer

Posted on by anoceanroars

John Lee Hooker‘s The Healer is an album I have never heard. I barely heard of Hooker. I know that he played the blues. I cannot see a reason for this album to be on the list, except that it is filled with many special guests.

The first song “The Healer” kind of sucks. Carlos Santana is the special guest musician and writer. I think all his songs sound the same. This one is as boring as all his other songs.

“I’m in the Mood” is a bit better because of Bonnie Raitt‘s vocals and the music is more bluesy.

Overall, I think the album is okay for a blues album. I like the blues, but I do not generally listen to it unless it is live. I live the blues everyday so I do not need to hear it often. 6/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
