John 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 have
been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s
edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.
