Giant of Blues
Editorial Reviews
<"b00006jcgb4996"> Album Description
The 40 tracks compiled on this double CD, spanning the 9 years (1954-1965) of Hooker's involvement with Chicago's Vee Jay label, played a significant role in spreading his popularity as one of the world's greatest blues men, exposing him to R&B fans around the globe. He was particularly well received in the UK during this period, where covers of Hooker originals peppered the set lists of many bands in the 60s British R&B scene (The Animals, The Yardbirds and the Spencer Davis Group). Includes his classic 'No Shoes', 'Baby Lee', 'Dimples', 'Boom, Boom', 'Big Legs, Tight Skirt' and many others. Packaged in a beautiful trifold mini LP sleeve. Fruit Tree. 2002.
