Earl HookerRide Hooker Ride CD The Electrifying Blues Guitar Of Earl Hooker, 1953-1962, featuring 30 original recordings.Guitarist Earl Hooker would undoubtedly have gone on to enj oy a major international career, had he been blessed with better health.A cousin of John Lee Hooker, Earl was an exceptional slide player, known widely as 'The guitarists' guitarist'.He recorded few vocals as he was hindered by a stutter, to compensate, he concentrated on developing his playing technique.This collection concentrates on his earliest recordings, cut for a variety of record labels between 1953 and 1962, several of which were not released commercially until after his death.This is the first time that this body of work has been thus compiled, and many of these sides are difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
