Product Review:
John Lee Hooker's The Collection 1948-52 formative early recordings from the Detroit blues legend.
John Lee Hooker's early recordings for Modern Records, cut in Detroit between 1948 and 1952, captured him at his most raw -- solo electric guitar, stomping foot, and vocals. This 2003 EMI compilation draws from those sessions, including "I'm in the Mood" and "Boogie Chillen", both US hits. "Baby Please Don't Go" later became a garage rock standard. Tracks appear here under their original pseudonymous release titles.
