Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Blues great plus three bonus tracks. John Lee Hooker developed a talking blues style that became his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta tradition, his metrically free approach and unique sound would make him a staple of the Detroit blues tradition. Often called the 'King of the Boogie, ' Hooker's driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing has become an integral part of the blues. His thunderous electric guitar sounded raw, while his basic technique was riveting. This quintessential release contains tow of Hooker's finest albums: BURNIN' (1962) - with a full-, band accompaniment and featuring the chart success 'Boom Boom, ' one of Hooker's most identifiable and enduring songs, plus PLAYS AND SINGS THE BLUES (1961), which was filled with 1951-, 1952 solo recordings and gems from Hooker's early days. Both masterpieces have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes three bonus tracks from the same period.
