Cut from the master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

1959 release by John Lee Hooker unaccompanied and playing acoustic instead of his usual amplified guitar. He turned in a wonderfully varied set of deep Delta blues, moans, boogies, one field holler, and even a bit of hokum. Some are autobiographical, others reworkings of blues standards — all stamped with the hauntingly personal Hooker touch.
