Description
In the end, the true peaks on the album bring it all back home. “This Is Hip,” with its gospel voices and Ry Cooder’s sanctified slide guitar, bears a touch of the church, while “Highway 13” and “Father Was a Jockey” are flat-out Delta blues with splendid accompaniment by guitarist John Hammond. As Hooker moves musically from the city back to the Delta on Mr. Lucky, he travels a circle that in his rare hands remains truly unbroken.
