John Lee Hooker - Free Beer and Chicken (2002)

1. Make It Funky
2. Five Long Years
3. 713 Blues
4. 714 Blues
5. One  Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
6. Homework
7. Bluebird
8. Sittin' on Top  of the World
9. (You'll Never Amount to Anything If You Don't Go to) Collage



This album is one of the most excellent oddities in the Boogie King's catalogue. This is best described as John Lee Hooker does a funk album. Definitely not for blues purists. There are a few straight up and down blues numbers like 'Settin' on top of the world', and 'Five Long Years', but other numbers find John dropped straight into a well-oiled, psychedlic funk machine (replete with violin solos!). I'd recommend this album to open minded John Lee Hooker fans, and also those who are into Funkadelic. Beat Goes On
