Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're likely to come across. The other musicians stay in the pocket, never overplaying or trying to get Hooker to make chord changes he has no intention of making.
This record should be played for every artist who records with Hooker nowadays, as it's a textbook example of how exactly to back the old master. The most surreal moment occurs when William Wells blows some totally cool trombone on Hooker's version of Berry Gordy's "Money." If you run across this one in a pile of 500 other John Lee Hooker CDs, grab it; it's one of the good ones. /Cub Koda, AllMusic
Note: The original album title was "It Serve You Right To Suffer" (without an s at the end of the word Serve), but I've kept the spelling of the title for this CD reissue. Original LP cover pic is included in the folder.

A classic!
If you don't already have it, you need it.
And leave a thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the post Martin, and I second your recommendation for others to grab this one. Thanks for your comment.
Certainly one of the very best Hooker album, a lot of feeling and soul and a very tight jazz band following their sometimes erratic leader. In fact, all the sessions Hooker had done with jazzmen (Cannonball Adderley's rhythm section, Brandfor Marsialis, Miles Davis...) are very successful. I've been told that this Impulse session had several unissued tracks?
Thank you Red Rooster - a good one that I never heard (he has so many recordings out there)
You're welcome too Tom C, glad you enjoyed the post. And thanks to Gerard for your additional info. Can't tell whether the Impulse session you're referring to had any unissued tracks or not. Thank you both for your comments.
