 I wish it was endless March 14, 2007
Boston Bluesman (Boston, MA USA)
This is a quality John Lee Hooker album. John Lee is one of my favorites, but hgis catalog is pretty mixed. Endless boogie is not just an album, but a phase John Lee went through that was my favorite period with the artist. This phase includes live albums like 'Live at Soldad prison and his work with Can Heat.
On this album the songs are great, their is a quality backing band (with Steve Miller on Guitar for most tracks), and excellent overall sound quality. This album reminds me a lot of another great JLH album 'Never get out of these blues alive' (buy it if you can find it.
This is a smoking boogie blues album. Buy it and enjoy.
Excellent !!! March 10, 2007

This was one of the first cds I had ever bought back in the early 90s. It was $9.99 even way back then. I have since bought or recommended this cd to all my friends. Its hard-core and AWESOME. #3 - Kick Hit... is stupendous from its first few chords. Then he hits you with #4 Standin' at the Crossroads... then some Sheep out on the Foam and In my Dark Room are slow methodical blues that just makes your head swing. I'm going to go home right now and crank this bad boy. Buy it. But beware, you'll rave about it to everyone who will listen and end up buying more for birthdays and holiday gifts.

be aware that the BGO release omits 4 tracks, about 23 minutes, while the MCA release has all 11 tracks.
Missing tracks include the House Rent Boogie (later covered by George Thorogood), Standin' At The Crossroads, Doin' The Shout, A Sheep Out On The Foam.

A true standout, especially when you compare the performances on this album to some of Mr. Hooker's other work. The studio musicians all seem to blossom here, with J.L.'s incredible vocals, in creating this classic. It ranks with my personal top 10 alltime albums, way up there. Universal and current messages abound, and is a lot of fun too (check out "House Rent Boogie"..."Hit Kix U").

I bought this album soon after its initial release in 1971 and was blown away. It holds up even after 30 years and will continue to do so. Some critics have dismissed this album as another example of aimless jamming by some white guitarists in awe of a blues icon. I completely disagree. Sure, many of the tracks are over 5 minutes: and yes these are jams. But they anything but chaotic and unstructured as some listeners have suggested. There are fine contributions from the likes of Steve Miller, Mel Brown and the late Jesse Ed Davis (listen to Davis' snake like notes and brittle playing on the jam Pots on, gas up high). For the blues mood in extremis check out Kick Hit 4 hit Kix U and Sheep out on the foam. The rhythm section of Gino Skaggs (you want to learn blues bass playing, listen to this cat's clean playing) and Ken Swank (fine drumming) on most tracks (late Carl Radle and Jim Gordon of Derek and the Dominos appear on the remainder) is rock steady. I emigrated to Canada as a 15 year old in 1971 and this was the album that got me into blues. I have worn out two double albums and have presented copies to numerous friends to illustrate how joyful blues music can be. Its wonderful that the CD is available once more to delight blues fans every where. The 5 stars are for the content and for the seminal role this CD has played in shaping my musical education.
