John Lee Hooker

Description:

John Lee Hooker, a giant in the blues world for over half a century. This 2CD set includes 30 of P Vine's own Modern recordings from the peak of his career, from "Hobo Blues" in 1949 to "The Syndicator" in 1954! Some were produced by Bernie Bethman and most by Modern's Joe Bihari, and you can enjoy a wide variety of works from the period when the band was riding high, ranging from playing songs to songs featuring Eddie Kirkland's guitar to band sounds. It is truly a one-and-only John Lee, going his own way. I hope you will enjoy this 3-CD set from Ace as much as you can.
