DESCRIPTION
Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Blues legend plus bonus tracks. 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 the Detroit blues tradition. Often called the King of the Boogie, Hooker's driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing has become an integral part of the Blues. His thunderous electric guitar sounded raw, while his basic technique was riveting. This quintessential collector's edition includes two of Hooker's finest albums: I'm John Lee Hooker (1959) and Travelin' (1960), both originally released by the Vee-Jay label. These two blues masterpieces have been packaged together in this very special release, which also includes five bonus tracks from the same period. Contained here is the cream of the crop from Hooker's hit making stretch for Vee-Jay records during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which John Lee Hooker's legend was built. Slow Jam Records.
