Earl Hooker is considered to be one of the most important blues guitarists of the post-war era. If there was a more immaculate slide guitarist residing in Chicago during the 1950s and '60s than Earl Hooker,  his name has yet to surface. Boasting a fretboard touch so smooth and clean that every note rang as clear  and precise as a bell, Hooker was an endlessly inventive axeman who would likely have been a star had  his modest vocal abilities matched his instrumental prowess and had he not been dogged  by tuberculosis (it killed him at age 41).

Earl Hooker's Two Bugs and a Roach is a varied lot, with vocals from Hooker, Andrew Odom, and Carey Bell  in between the instrumentals, all cut in 1968.
