  • Description

    180g virgin vinyl limited edition, the complete album + 5 bonus tracks.

    A remarkable release in John Lee Hooker's vast catalogue, Folk Blues, released by the Crown label in 1962, puts together tracks originally recorded for Modern Records between 1951 and 1954.

    Among its many highlights are Bad Boy, one of the finest examples of Hooker's wordless humming and singing in unison with his guitar figures, and Rock House Boogie, which offers a sampling of Hooker's use of bottleneck style.

    "Essential in any collection of postwar blues." - ***** Downbeat:
