2 COMPLETE ALBUMS ON 1 CD Plus 5 BONUS TRACKS

This edition includes two of Hooker’s finest albums: "I’m John Lee Hooker" (1959) and "Travelin’" (1960), both originally released by the Vee-Jay label. His association with Vee-Jay Records (from the 1950s to the early 1960s) marked a creative peak for Hooker. He taped some of these early songs at a special moment in his career when he was allowed more space between recording sessions. Prior to that, R&B labels were milking him for a different recording every month, sometimes under different names (such as John Lee Booker, Texas Slim, Birmingham Sam, Delta John, and Boogie Man), while during his later period the folk and folk blues revivals saw him doing almost one session per week!
