He's notoriously difficult to play support for because of the spontaneity of his work, but these guys keep up and then some, adding engaging flourishes and grace notes. Hooker is in excellent voice, and his material is as strong as any album in his output, rough, dark, and moody."Bruce Eder album mw0000088458 John Lee Hooker The Groundhogs: Hooker and the Hogs – Review August 30, 2019 The editors of Billboard listed the album in the "Blues Special Merit" category, and a reviewer stated: "Hooker is one of the greatest blues singers extant, and the sound of the delta and swamp are in his sides.
