Title: Just one of the best
Review: As a child, I was only familiar with one or two songs by Earl Hooker, but didn't really pay him much mind. Now at 56, I've "rediscovered" Earl Hooker and am simply amazed at what an entertaining and versatile guitarist he is.As an aspiring blues guitarist myself, the first thing I noticed is what I can only call masterful articulation. I suspect playing slide guitar really freed up his expression and he brought that to his regular playing. Or maybe it was the other way around - who knows?Regardless, this album shows off the talents of a wonderful and distinctive artist. If you like blues and you've not discovered Earl Hooker yet, there's no better place to start than with this album.
