Boogie Chillen' No. 2

In 1970, the veteran Detroit blues musician John Lee Hooker entered a Los Angeles studio with the blues-rock band Canned Heat to record the acclaimed double album Hooker 'n Heat. For "Boogie Chillen' No. 2," an updated version of his 1948 breakout hit, Hooker essentially jammed live in the studio with Canned Heat's Alan Wilson. Wilson's incredibly sensitive, authentic harmonica playing perfectly matched Hooker's famously unpredictable timing and heavy, foot-stomping rhythm. It was a massive, sprawling, joyous boogie that stands as one of the most successful, respectful, and musically integrated collaborations between an original blues pioneer and the 1960s rock generation.
