THE most overlooked Blues LP ...

"... from a Hendrix perspective. Anyone who was fascinated by the spookier Hendrix tunes like "Voodoo Chile", "Here My Train A Comin'", etc. has got to hear this. What you are hearing are the raw roots of Hendrix. Now look at the release date - 1969. (There were no recording dates on the vinyl LP.) So Johnny Lee could have already heard Jimi by this time ... John Lee Hooker influenced by Jimi Hendrix? (Influenced by Jimi's influences of himself and giving it back?) No matter - what could be better? This is raw primal blues with some oomf ... and it's the missing link. Nobody talks about this one."
