‘John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2′ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Lead single “Remember (Alberta Adams)” and “Hard Time Gettin’ Started (Eddie Boyd)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This disc has all of the essential Blues - Various Artists classics. John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 constantly brilliant.
This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Eight Ball (Gus Jenkins) is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Untitled Instrumental (Henry Gray and Morris Pejoe) is a amazing song and it grows on you. First time I heard I Declare That Ain’t Right (Henry Gray) was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Evil (Howlin’ Wolf) is a very catchy tune. The song feels complete. Mama Talk to Your Daughter (J. B. Lenoir) is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Don’t judge Ice Cream Man (John Brim) on the first listening. Music in Walkin’ the Boogie (alternate; John Lee Hooker) is gorgeous as in all tracks of John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2. This song may be the most meaningful. Once Don’t Need No Horse (Little Walter) gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Still going through John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 and coming to appreciate Fast Boogie (Little Walter) more and more with every listen. I love the melodic melody of Got to Find My Baby (alternate; Little Walter) and to this day it makes me feel good. In Juke (Little Walter) Blues - Various Artists is at his best. Reconsider Baby (Lowell Fulson) - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Broken Heart (alternate; Memphis Minnie) on John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 is solid and easy to listen to. Conjur Man (Memphis Minnie) - another great track from the John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 album. Hoochie Coochie Man (Muddy Waters) one is one of the better boring ones. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Funeral Hearse at My Door (Rocky Fuller) is a great opener for John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2. Got to Have It (Willie Mabon) as a highlight of John Lee Hooker - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 contains a ton of amazing melodies. In I’m Mad (Willie Mabon) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. I like to sing along with Truckin’ Little Woman (Willie Nix), though I mess up the lyrics sometimes.
