John Lee Hooker – Burning Hell (Bluesville Acoustic Sounds Series) [LP]

Burning Hell was recorded in 1959 in Detroit, MI, but wasnt released until 1964. Even then, it was only available in the UK. This 180-gram vinyl pressing marks the first official single LP worldwide release the album has seen. Pressed at QRP in partnership with Acoustic Sounds, the album features Hooker solo as he plays originals and classics. AllMusic states that, on this album, Hooker shows himself to be an excellent interpreter who could have held his own with Delta bluesmen of any era.
