John Lee Hooker
Title:
Im John Lee Hooker

Info: PVC dust sleeve..John Lee Hooker's legendary 1959 debut for Chicago's independent Vee Jay label. The 12 tracks heard on this release were taken from sessions recorded from 1955-1959. This is the Hook at his best. On four tracks I'm In The Mood Boogie Chillun Hobo Blues and Crawlin' King Snake Hooker worked alone playing guitar while the rhythm beat you hear is his foot pounding on a convenient piece of plywood. All of this was recorded authentically utilizing a Telefunken U-47 microphone. On the other eight numbers Hooker is joined by an additional rhythm guitar string bass and drums. This is the Hook at his best."
