John Hooker Lee – The Real Folk Blues (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John Lee Hooker recorded these Chess sessions in 1966 with the same raw, hypnotic authority he'd been channeling since his Detroit recordings of the late 1940s. His one-chord grooves and deeply personal vocal style were a direct line to the Mississippi Delta, and they influenced everyone from the Rolling Stones to Van Morrison. The Acoustic Sounds pressing lets you hear every foot stomp and string buzz the way the format was always meant to deliver it.
In the mid-1960s, Chess Records released a series of The Real Folk Blues albums that compiled singles from the careers of some of it's greatest artists. John Lee Hooker's The Real Folk Blues differed from many of the other compilations as it featured newly recorded sessions for the label. These legendary 1966 recordings capture the essence of his signature sound and approach to the blues. Standout tracks include "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," "Stella Mae" and "I'm In The Mood." Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Records Acoustic Sounds Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess discography are remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP). Each disc is packaged in tip-on gatefold sleeves printed on high-grade board.
