There are SO MANY Hooker recordings! If you like the raw stuff like on House Of The Blues, the Besman stuff, then this is for you. Late 40's to late 50's Hooker stomping his foot, while playing solo, sometimes with Eddie Kirkland on 2nd guitar, and a few full band tracks- some with myrtfissahumbbisiglotplalistduptivol.xyzinfo in all, a great set of Besman recordings/5(7).

John Lee Hooker was an American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. The son of a sharecropper, he rose to prominence performing an electric guitar-style.
"Gonna Use My Rod" is a 'talking blues' in a familiar enough vein: the singer is warning his best friend to "leave my wife alone." Others, though, are more off the beaten path. "One of These Days" and "Come On And See About Me" are actually of gospel-song origin, although treated with a blues feeling; the latter is particularly effective in its.
While Hooker's Vee-Jay recordings are backed by an electric combo, his Riverside recordings are acoustic, with just an acoustic bass and drums barely discernible behind him. This stripped down sound exposes the essence of Hooker's style. I Need Some Money is a classic, and Gonna Use My Rod is a precursor to I'm Bad Like Jesse James/5(33).
