Jealous is an album by the blues musician John Lee Hooker.
AllMusic reviewer Thom Owens stated: "While Jealous is propelled by the scarily spare stomp of Hook's guitar, it has few standout moments.
Instead, it is a consistent record, with few highs or lows – it's a standard contemporary blues album, without many peaks or valleys.
Jealous may be a grittier record than its successor, The Healer, but it tends to fade into the background, making it one of his more undistinguished albums".
[2] PopMatters' Zeth Lundy wrote: "Jealous was recorded with Hooker's touring band at the time, but any sparks of chemistry are doused by the thin, lifeless sound of synthetically-rendered instrumentation ... the recordings themselves are devoid of warmth and pulse, or even the gritty realism of his earlier, seminal work.
