Since he won a Grammy Award for 1989's The Healer, John Lee Hooker, now 79 years old, has been an unusually hot property. He has played with the likes of Rolling Stones, Branford Marsalis and B.B. King. Don't Look Back finds the party continuing, with old friend/disciple Van Morrison, who guested on 1995's Chill Out, now in the producer's seat.

Apart from a raucous reading of the old Hooker standard "Dimples," which features backing from Los Lobos, Don't Look Back leans towards varying shades of slow blues. Emotion is stressed over barn-burning instrumental heroics, particularly on the songs that ride along on Charles Brown's melancholic piano playing. Producer Morrison's duets with his idol on "Travellin' Blues" and Morrison's "The Healing Game" bring out the best in both legends.

One of a series of superb John Lee Hooker albums recorded in the '90s, Chill Out clearly shows that he remains at the top of his game. The opening (and title) track features guitar god and long time Hooker fan Carlos Santana (with his band). Although quite slick sounding, Santana's Latin funk grooves and typically blistering solo fit surprisingly well with John Lee's gutbucket vocals--a testament to the aging blues man's incredible versatility. Roy Rogers (the blues guy, not the cowboy fast food mogul) reveals himself as an adept and sensitive producer and also adds some very tasty slide guitar on four tunes. Whether with a full band or all alone, John Lee Hooker's talent burns brightly throughout the album.
