This album is marked by the interaction between John Lee Hooker and his
guitar-playing cousin Earl. Earl, who succumbed to illness in 1970, was a fine
bluesman in his own right, possessing a formidable slide technique. Many are
unaware that the two often performed together, and the band that accompanies
John Lee here also backed Earl frequently. The opening cut, then, a slow 12-bar
number called The Hookers is not about ladies of the evening, but rather about
the gentlemen in question. Heard here less than a year before his death, Earl
still sounds frisky and versatile, often utilizing a funky wah-wah style without
ever descending into the psychedelic excesses that plagued so many late-60s
electric blues albums. One of the most effective cuts is Lonesome Mood, a
low-key, one-chord stomper in the classic John Lee mold, where Earls wah-wah
guitar meshes with Johnny Walkers organ and Jefferey Carps harmonica to create a
subtly shifting, sensuously undulating web of sound over which John Lee works
his hoodoo. On IF YOU MISS IM, John Lee definitely benefits from keeping it in
the family.
