    John Lee Hooker - Folk Lore of + Folk Blues [New CD] Spain - Import2 LPs ON 1 CD + 4 BONUS TRACKSJohn Lee Hooker developed a “talking blues” style that became his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta tradition, his metrically free approach and unique sound would make him a staple of Detroit blues. Often called the “King of the Boogie”, Hooker’s driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing has become an integral part of the blues.This quintessential release includes two of Hooker’s finest albums: The Folk Lore of John Lee Hooker (Vee Jay 1961) and Folk Blues (Crown 1962). The former LP combines acoustic tunes like the spine-chilling “Tupelo” and “The Hobo” (both recorded at the Newport Folk Festival in 1960), plus electric numbers such as “I’m Mad Again”, “I’m Going Upstairs”, and “Hard-Headed Woman”, among other highlights. The second LP featured Hooker’s 1952-1955 electric recordings for the Modern label. Both albums havebeen remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.PERSONNEL:JOHN LEE HOOKER, vocals, lead guitar and foot stomping, plus:Jimmy Reed (harmonica and guitar), William “Lefty” Bates, Eddie Kirkland (guitar),Quinn Wilson (bass), Earl Phillips (drums), Otis Finch (tenor saxophone), among others.Recorded in Detroit, Chicago, and Rhode Island, 1952-1961.TRACKS:THE FOLK LORE OF JOHN LEE HOOKER01.
