about

Bluesman Earl Hooker (1930–1970) was considered by his peers to be a “musician’s musician.” In the 1960s, there wasn’t a better slide guitarist to be found in Chicago. In 1968 and 1969 Arhoolie Records founder and producer Chris Strachwitz recorded several sessions with Earl both in Chicago and in California. This collection includes music from those sessions and four live tracks of Earl playing at Theresa’s Lounge on Chicago’s South Side. Earl’s life and musical career were cut short by tuberculosis in 1970.

This is as close to sitting in a room with a master blues legend and have them perform just for you. Black Key's Dan Auerbach produced this superb set of performances from the 60's. Just man and guitar, blues does not get more pure or real. A must for true blues fans, and best archival release of 2022. soundbytz
