Originally released on Chess Records. Includes liner notes by Chris Morris and Ralph Bass.

For these two albums, recorded in the mid-'60s, the "real folk" appellation is not quite accurate. The title was also applied to contemporaneous releases by Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Muddy Waters as a Chess Records marketing ploy. These 18 songs are electric and blistering, edgy like a coiled snake. When Hooker slips into his ferocious howl--as he does on "Stella Mae"--it can make the hairs on your neck stand up. He can also keep a slow pace simmering with relentless fire. Hooker's idiosyncratic phrasing and tempos made him most effective as a solo act during the early years of his career. For these sessions producer Ralph Bass successfully matched players to Hooker's quirky sensibility, the grooves all perfectly meshing into one organic rhythm contraption.
