Details
One of a series of superb John Lee Hooker albums recorded in the '90s, Chill Out clearly shows that he remains at the top of his game. The opening (and title) track features guitar god and long time Hooker fan Carlos Santana (with his band). Although quite slick sounding, Santana's Latin funk grooves and typically blistering solo fit surprisingly well with John Lee's gutbucket vocals--a testament to the aging blues man's incredible versatility. Roy Rogers (the blues guy, not the cowboy fast food mogul) reveals himself as an adept and sensitive producer and also adds some very tasty slide guitar on four tunes. Whether with a full band or all alone, John Lee Hooker's talent burns brightly throughout the album.
