| Personnel: | John Lee Hooker vocals; guitar, whistling on 12 Eddie Burns harmonica on 13-14 Compilation/Annotation Sloan Nibley |
|||
| Notes: | Liner notes say
that twelve of the 'rogue' sides (i.e. released under a pseudonym) appear here for the
first time without overdubs. I would assume they are referring to the sides credited
to Texas Slim. Sound is slightly cleaner than The Legendary Modern Recordings. Pops are less noticeable. |
|||
| Similar CD's: | There are various overlapping tracks with the CD's mentioned in the 'References' section above, but if it's the undubbed King sides you're after, this is the only one. | |||
