John Lee Hooker - Sings The Blues (2023 Reissue)

Widely recognised as one of the true giants of the blues, John Lee Hooker's driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing has become an integral part of the blues sound and style.

'John Lee Hooker Sings The Blues', released in 1961, puts together a selection of singles the bluesman recorded between 1948 and 1954. It combines electric numbers such as "Hug and Squeeze" with acoustic tunes, and solo performances like the spine-chilling "Don't You Remember Me."
