Rockin Wild - 1952-1963 Recordings Limited edition

Earl Hooker was the "blues guitarists' guitarist," the most respected six-string wizard in Chicago blues musicians'

circles during the 1950s and '60s. A cousin of John Lee Hooker and a protégé of slide guitar master Robert

Nighthawk, Hooker was an endlessly inventive axeman who would likely have been a star had his modest vocal

abilities matched his instrumental prowess and had he not suffered from chronic tuberculosis (which would lead to his

death at the tender age of 41).

This collector's cd presents most of Hooker's finest efforts. It compiles 30 remastered tracks, including those sensational and hard-to-find sides he recorded for a varietyof labels between 1952 and 1963(such as Argo, King, Chief, Age and U. S. A. Records).

EARL HOOKER, electric guitar(and lead vocals on track 4), plus:

Junior Wells (vocals & harmonica), Jackie Brenston, Lillian Offitt (vocals)

A. C. Reed (vocals & tenor sax), Julian Beasley (alto sax), Earnest Johnson (bass),

Lafayette Leake, Pinetop Perkins (piano), Johnny "Big Moose" Walker (organ

& piano), Bobby Little (drums), among others.

Recorded in Chicago, between 1952 and 1963.
