-Titulo Original : House Of The Blues-Fabricante : Hallmark-Descripcion Original: One of the truly great blues artists, John Lee Hooker enjoyed a successful career of nearly sixty years in duration, including a spell towards the latter part of the twentieth century when he was considered the greatest of the era. Times may have changed during the course of his career but John Lee Hooker didnt, with his overall sound remaining constant. Indeed, the recordings he made during the latter stage of his career invoked images of the earlier part of his career, retaining much the same song structure throughout, albeit with subtle amendments.

There is not a faulty performance to be found on any of the tracks, just as you might expect from an already seasoned performer such as Etta James. At Last has retained its appeal, being regularly nominated and included into listings of the Top 500 albums of all time...
