I'm in the Mood

John Lee Hooker’s raw Delta growl meets Bonnie Raitt’s soulful slide guitar on this Silvertone Records session, a late-career collaboration that crackles with Louisiana Blues authenticity. Recorded when Hooker was in his eighties, the tracks strip away production flourish to expose the skeletal power of his boogie-inflected rhythms and Raitt’s intuitive harmonic sensibility. Two blues masters at their most direct, trading verses over hypnotic grooves that feel less like nostalgia and more like living tradition.
