Celebrate Hooker's 100th Birthday With Compilation On Vinyl LP!
2017 marks what would have been John Lee Hookers 100th birthday. As part of a larger, year-long centennial celebration for the legendary bluesman, this new collection features some of Hookers most celebrated recordings, from the prime of his career. Spanning his time on Vee-Jay, Stax, Riverside and Specialty Records, the collection includes such favorites as Boom Boom, Boogie Chillun and Big Legs, Tight Skirt. New liner notes by music journalist Bill Dahl round out the package.
"Many of Hooker's best-known songs are here, including a lively version of "Boom Boom," the swinging "Boogie Chillun'," "Dimples," and the gritty and blatantly sexual "Grinder Man"... All of Hooker's best-loved qualities are showcased - his rich and tremulous voice on "I Need Some Money" and the title track; the singular guitar style of "Crawlin' King Snake" and "Frisco Blues"; the raw emotion on "No Shoes"; and the swagger of "Big Legs, Tight Skirt." - Karen Bells, The Absolute Sound, July/August 2017
