John Lee Hooker - I'm John Lee Hooker - CD - New

2 COMPLETE ALBUMS ON 1 CD Plus 5 BONUS TRACKSThis 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!JOHN LEE HOOKER, vocals and guitar(*) BONUS ALBUM (13-24): TRAVELIN'(**) BONUS TRACKS (25-29)Recorded in Chicago & Detroit, 1955-60.TRACKS:01 DIMPLES02 HOBO BLUES03 I’M SO EXCITED04 I LOVE YOU HONEY05 BOOGIE CHILLUN06 LITTLE WHEEL07 I’M IN THE MOOD08 MAUDIE09 CRAWLIN’ KING SNAKE10 EVERY NIGHT11 TIME IS MARCHING12 BABY LEE13 NO SHOES (*)14 I WANNA WALK (*)15 CANAL STREET BLUES (*)16 RUN ON (*)17 I’M A STRANGER (*)18 WHISKEY AND WIMMEN (*)19 SOLID SENDER (*)20 SUNNY LAND (*)21 GOIN’ TO CALIFORNIA (*)22 I CAN’T BELIEVE (*)23 I’LL KNOW TONIGHT (*)24 DUSTY ROAD (*)25 MAMBO CHILLUN (**)26 BABY, PLEASE DON’T GO (**)27 TIME IS MARCHING (**)28 SHAKE, HOLLER AND RUN (**)29 BOOGIE RAMBLER (**)TOTAL TIME: 77:19 min.
