Description
2 ALBUMS ON 1 CD 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLET RARE PHOTOS VINTAGE MEMORABILIA DETAILED LINER NOTES.
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.
