Earl Hooker was the “blues guitarists’ guitarist,” the most respected six-string wizard in Chicago blues musicians’ circles during the 1950s and ’60s. A cousin of John Lee Hooker and a protégé of slide guitar master Robert Nighthawk, Hooker was an endlessly inventive axeman who would likely have been a star had his modest vocal abilities matched his instrumental prowess and had he not suffered from chronic tuberculosis (which would lead to his death at the tender age of 41).
This collector's CD presents most of Hooker's finest efforts. It compiles 30 remastered tracks, including those sensational and hard-to-find sides he recordes for a variety of labels between 1952 and 1963 (such as Argo, King, Chief, Age, and U.S.A. Records)
Recorded in Chicago, between 1952 and 1963.
