John Lee Hooker

Mad Man Blues
1984 2LP Compilation. Both LPs Appear Glossy, Unplayed. “In The 1980s, John Lee Hooker's Career Revitalized With The Healer, Which Won A Grammy, And Concurrent With This Release Was A Resurgence Of Interest In Hooker As A Recording Artist. This Interest Occasioned The Reissue Of Much Of The Chess Catalog Of His Early Work. This 1984 Double Album, Whose Song Lineup Is Almost Identical To A 1982 Chess Master's Release, Features Songs Remastered From The Original 1950s And '60s Recordings. It's Hooker At His Rawest And Most Mesmerizing, Driving A Single Chord Through Pounding, Unrefined Iterations. The Title Track, Displaying Hooker's Characteristic Sensitivity And Emotional Significance, Is From An Early-'50s Recording On The Gone Label. "Leave My Wife Alone," "Sugar Mama," "Louise," And "High Priced Woman" Are From The 1959 Chess Reissue House Of Blues Featuring Eddie Kirkland's Guitar Accompaniment. Also Included Are Such Classic Tracks As "Peace Lovin' Man," "Stella Mae," "I Put My Trust In You," "I'm In The Mood," "You Know, I Know," And "I'll Never Trust Your Love Again." It's An Impeccable Set Played With A Feeling And Commitment That's Solely Hooker's Province.” Brian Whitener, AMG.
