John Lee Hooker Goin’ Down Highway 51 LP 1976 Australian
Original Australian pressing on Image of 1971 US Specialty recording/
John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was an American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. He was born in Mississippi, the son of a sharecropper, and rose to prominence performing an electric guitar-style adaptation of Delta blues. Hooker often incorporated other elements, including talking blues and early North Mississippi Hill country blues. He developed his own driving-rhythm boogie style, distinct from the 1930s–1940s piano-derived boogie-woogie style. Some of his best known songs include "Boogie Chillen'" (1948), "Crawling King Snake" (1949), "Dimples" (1956), "Boom Boom" (1962), and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (1966) – the first being the most popular race record of 1949.
This LP brings you early recordings of Hooker in his absolute prime. These sides were recorded in Detroit not long after the singer/guitarist's arrival in the Motor City from his native Mississippi. The 14 tunes include "Grinder Man," "Four Women in My Life," "Strike Blues," and the autobiographical narratives "21 Boogie" and "Henry's Swing Club."
