Personnel: John Lee Hooker (vocals, guitar); Tony McPhee (guitar); Tom Parker (piano, organ); Pete Cruikshank (bass); Dave Boorman (drums). Recorded in 1965. Includes liner notes by Tony McPhee. This is part of Sanctuary Records "Blues Masters" series. Guitarist-singer-songwriter John Lee Hooker was one of the links between the raw, acoustic country blues and the urban, electrified blues--his personal style is marked by hypnotic, cyclic rhythms and doomy, plainspoken singing. He was a major influence on many rock & roll artists (in both England and America) in the 1960s. From a 1965 concert in London, England, HOOKER AND THE HOGS sees the legendary bluesman team up with the British blues-rock band The Groundhogs.
