CD John Lee Hooker – Hooker N Heat

A milestone in the careers of all involved. For the Hook, this was the venerable bluesman’s first time on the pop-album charts. For Canned Heat, it was, sadly, the last recording with Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson, who’d be dead of a drug overdose just months later. This 1971 double LP is here on 2 CDs, and it’s a blues-boogie masterpiece.
