This interesting release re-creates the look and contents of the 1964 Kent
Records LP called Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker right down to the
original sleeve art, and ups the ante by including a previously unreleased
version of Let Your Daddy Ride as well as six other additional bonus tracks.
Most of these cuts were recorded with Bernie Besman in Detroit in fascinatingly
primitive fashion between 1948 and 1954, and were then shipped to the Bihari
Brothers Modern Records imprint for release as singles. Included here are
Hookers first versions of Boogie Chillen, Crawlin King Snake, and Sally Mae,
each of which is classic Hooker, as rough and raw as a Delta wind blowing shards
of glass up the Detroit River. There are some odd experiments, too, like the
spooky Cold Chills, which features an absolutely huge-sounding organ played by
Buddy Johnson and some eerie, multi-tracked vocals from Hooker, with the whole
recording sounding like it was tracked in a massive cavern deep in the earth
with a bank of thick fog rolling over everything. These Modern releases have
appeared time and time again on various Hooker collections, but there is the
feel of something special about this particular package. Its all ragged and
delightfully unhinged, which is the only way to go with John Lee Hooker.
