Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Detroit in 1959 but unreleased until 1964 in the UK, this session captures Hooker performing entirely solo with an acoustic guitar. The sparse production highlights his heavy, rhythmic foot-stomping and the dark, driving structure of his unamplified Delta blues technique.
