In 1999, BGO released Get on Down With Bobby Bland/Reflections in Blue, which contained two complete albums -- Get on Down With Bobby Bland (1975, originally released on ABC) and Reflections in Blue (1977, originally released on ABC) -- by Bobby Bland on one compact disc. ~ Jason Birchmeier

ENDLESS BOOGIE features a host of session musicians including, interestingly enough, Steve Miller on six cuts. The variety and range these musicians add to Hooker's straight-up blues stylings makes for a textured and interesting combination. Hooker's tunes touch on the traditional themes: feeling down ("Sitting In My Dark Room"), getting a good woman ("I Got A Good 'Un"), money troubles ("House Rent Boogie") and standing at the crossroads ("Standing At The Crossroads"). Hooker's irresistibly gritty guitar and voice, combined with fine session work and the novelty of unusual elements like electric piano, makes this disc one of his best collaborative projects.
