Guitarist Earl Hooker would undoubtedly have gone on to enjoy a major international career during the Blues\/Rock era, had he been blessed with better health; but he suffered from Tuberculosis and sadly died in 1970, at the age of only forty. 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 compilation concentrates on his earliest recordings for a variety of record labels between 1953-62 This is the first time that this body of work has been thus compiled, and many of these sides are difficult to find elsewhere\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOOKER,EARL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48240686399733,"sku":"604988321937","price":35.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/604988321937","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
