Review by Bill Dahl
The slide guitar wizard's immaculate fretwork was never captured more imaginatively than during his early-'60s stay with Mel London's Age/Chief labels. 21 fascinating tracks from that period include Hooker's savage instrumentals "Blue Guitar," "Off the Hook," "The Leading Brand," "Blues in D Natural," and "How Long Can This Go On," along with tracks by A.C. Reed, Lillian Offitt, and Harold Tidwell that cast Hooker as a standout sideman.

Reseña de Bill Dahl
El inmaculado calado del mago de la guitarra slide nunca fue capturado de forma más imaginativa que durante su estancia a principios de los 60 con los sellos Age/Chief de Mel London. 21 fascinantes temas de ese periodo incluyen los salvajes instrumentales de Hooker "Blue Guitar", "Off the Hook", "The Leading Brand", "Blues in D Natural" y "How Long Can This Go On", junto con temas de A.C. Reed, Lillian Offitt y Harold Tidwell que sitúan a Hooker como un destacado sideman.
