1961 FIRST PRESSING !!

John Lee Hooker was an Award-winning, legendary and influential American singer-songwriter and blues guitarist, born in Coahoma County near Clarksdale, Mississippi. Hooker began his life as the son of a sharecropper, and rose to prominence performing his own unique style of what was originally closest to Delta blues. He developed a half-spoken style that was his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was rhythmically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie p style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing.
               ...............................
He first introduced the world to his own style of foot-stompin' Mississippi blues in 1948 with the release of his first single, 'Boogie Chillen', a style that would be widely imitated in the following decades by everyone from Van Morrison to the Rolling Stones. The Folklore Of John Lee Hooker, like much of his most memorable material, released on Chicago's Vee Jay label in 1961, and features another blues legend in his own right, Jimmy Reed.
              ...............................
