Great Hooker
This was one of my earliest Hooker purchases and remains one of my absolute favourites. The track selection is very good - given the HUGE number of Hooker recordings, its often hard to find a compilation without 2 or 3 duds, but this CD is an exception (apart from Baby Lee, which I've never rated). Throughout, you are treated to the great man's totally distinctive sound - his stark, plain but striking voice and guitar, all of it entirely unadorned and unembellished - just a great master... more info
one to play between 2-3am 22 tracks, over an hour of pure boogie stompin' John Lee ... (originals that you'll find electrified and dueted on his latest masterpieces: Healer etc.) ... this collection dates between 1955 & 1964 and it just keeps on chillen, with the re-freshing originals!
Not as gritty and raw as the earlier pure acoustic sets, but one where you can hear the base to what The Stones and Clapton listened to when they were learning to play - the influence just flows through.
This is a well put together collection... more info
