At the time of the release, John Lee Hooker was in his 80s and extremely well established as a legend of blues music. The 1998 album is filled with collaborations that serve as tributes as well as collaborations. Hooker’s blues and his personality are the foundation, and the star presence is embodied in that inimitable voice of his – old as time, and full of earth and stone. But most every song here has an intentionally different personality focused on an A-list guest. Three new recordings are present in a set list that primarily pulls recordings from the string of albums between 1989’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Healer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and 1997’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDon’t Look Back\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
