JOHN LEE HOOKER – I’m John Lee Hooker

A reissue of I’m John Lee Hooker, originally released in 1959. Collecting material recorded between 1955 and 1959 in the de facto capitol of the blues, Chicago, this is John Lee Hooker at his absolutely finest. Already some 40+ years old at the time of recording, Hooker was a veteran of the blues and a man that had seen his fair share of pain and suffering, the son of a Mississippi sharecropper, and these are some of his most evocative recordings ever.
