Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Chicago during a single session, this album pairs the legendary Mississippi bluesman with a sturdy, electrified rhythm section. Hooker鈥檚 hypnotic, foot-stomping boogie and dark, commanding vocal delivery are amplified by the tight, unadorned studio backing.
