This early 1970s piece has everything to do with John Lee Hooker, rather than playing to some preconceived notion of selling albums. “Never Get Out” feels gritty and organic, like a record that Hooker wanted to make with some new friends.
Charlie Musselwhite is here, too, offering fresh insight during harmonica turns on “Hit the Road” and on “Country Boy,” which also features slide guitar by Elvin Bishop and organ from Steve Miller. Jazz violinist Michael White is bluesy and true on “Boogie With the Hook” (which might have been a terrific album title, too) and “T.B. Sheets.” Bishop provides a key element to the title cut, as well.
