EARL HOOKER is acknowledged as one of the greatest guitarists in blues history. He would undoubtedly have gone on to enjoy major international acclaim during the blues era had he been blessed with better health but he sadly died in 1970, at the age of only forty. These 30 tracks cover his earliest recordings for ROCKIN & SUN as well as his devastating 60's sides for the AGE & CHIEF labels..........
