Solo performer: John Lee Hooker (vocals, acoustic guitar). Recorded in Detroit, Michigan in April 1959. Originally released on Riverside (838).

Includes:: original release liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. This 1959 recording is just John Lee Hooker, his acoustic guitar & his voice. Whats deceptively complex in his enormous body of work is the way he conjures dark moods & hypnotic rhythms from the simplest of components--sometimes only one or two chords.

ENDLESS BOOGIE features a host of session musicians including, interestingly enough, Steve Miller on six cuts. The variety & range these musicians add to Hookers straight-up blues stylings makes for a textured & interesting combination. Hookers tunes touch on the traditional themes: feeling down (" Sitting In My Dark Room"), getting a good woman ("I Got A Good Un"), money troubles (" House Rent Boogie") & standing at the crossroads (" Standing At The Crossroads"). Hookers irresistibly gri ...

Given Hookers unpredictable timing & piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster.

The earliest, the crudest, the dirtiest, the best, these are the ones that made Hookers bad gunslinger rep. For solo work, Hookers one of the very baddest there is, & heres a heavy dosage of his best. All cut in Detroit at United Sound & assorted backroom "studios" for Bernie Bessman & Joe Von Battle between 1948-1954, the lineup features Hookers original hits ...

This interesting release re-creates the look & contents of the 1964 Kent Records LP called Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker right down to the original sleeve art, & 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 & 1954, & were then shipped to the Bihari Brothers Modern Records imprint for re ...
