 Review
Even more primitive and uncommercial than the John Lee Cooker on King and even rarer as a result. These were recorded by his first manager, Elmer Barbee, in early 1949 with members of Hooker's first band. (He never performed solo on stage until 1959).
Very primitively recorded with the band rockin' like crazy on the instrumental 609 Boogie and an intensely harsh vocal from JLH on the flip with slashing guitar. Chance added applause to beginning and end of 609 in an attempt to hide the surface noise present on Barbee's acetate.
How does one rate a record like this? You basically love it or hate it which translates into a grading of a 10 or a 1.
Musicians: Hooker, gtr; James Watkin (aka Watkins), pno, Curtis Foster, dms. This could even have been a demo recorded in 1948 to send to Bernie Besman of Sensation Records.
Composer credit again given as the non-existent C. Fowler on the flip.
