These sides of Hooker's raw, electric blues guitar and freely-phrased, soulful vocals were recorded in 1951 for the Gotham label. Originally issued on 78s, tracks like "Wandering Blues," "Feed Her All Night" and "Mean Old Train" find Hooker firmly rooted in the blues tradition, drawing on classic musical and lyrical themes. The fact that Hooker performs unaccompanied throughout gives his music a gut-level intensity, his foot pounding out beats, his sometimes understated delivery sounding tortured and careless at once. In tracks like "House Rent Boogie" one can witness an example of Hooker's well-known boogie groove, a propulsive shuffle rhythm generated by playing a bass riff on the lowest string of the guitar. GOTHAM GOLDEN CLASSICS is a compelling collection of Hooker's solo performances.

John Lee Hooker, who began his career in the '40s, is today considered one of the greatest Blues singers and guitar innovators. This collection of rare gems showcases this member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 11 tracks.

Recorded in 1951. Includes liner notes by Kerry Kudlacek.

Personnel: John Lee Hooker (vocals, guitar).

Liner Note Author: Kerry Kudlacek.

Gotham Golden Classics: The Rare Recordings Music Review


Customer Gotham Golden Classics: The Rare Recordings Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Very Powerful
The recordings here are hard blues. There are no slow paced songs on this CD. In the notes I see that these songs are from 78 speed LPs. You can hear the crackling of the vinyl recordings that these are taken from. But it doesn’t make the songs sound bad. It’s just John and his guitar. You can hear him tapping his foot while he plays. All the songs are great and I’d recommend this CD to anyone who likes hardcore blues.
