Hooker, John Lee - The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker

NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2019

180 GRAM VINYL.

Craft Recordings will celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest blues musicians of all time with the 2 August reissue of 1959’s The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker. The album stands as a showcase of the traditional folk and country-influenced one-chord blues sound, with Hooker playing acoustically and unaccompanied, along with his distinctive baritone vocals. The LP was cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, and is pressed on 180 gram vinyl for this reissue, housed in a tip-on jacket. The stripped-down recordings allow the listener to hear all of the nuances of the original recording.
