John Lee Hooker: Boom Boom CLR

LP Record Available again. There's no doubt that John Lee Hooker (1917–2001) is one of the greatest blues musicians of all time. Hooker's career truly took off in 1949 with the release of "Boogie Chillen". The single shot to number one on the rhythm and blues charts and sold a million copies. Two years later, he achieved another million-seller with the song "I'm In The Mood". His blend of vocals and language, combined with infectious rhythms, perfectly captured the taste of African-American record buyers. Added to this was his electrically amplified guitar, with which he created a new, trend-setting sound. During this period, Hooker mostly performed solo. He was occasionally accompanied by musicians such as Eddie Burns, Boogie Woogie Red, and Eddie Kirkland.
