"“It isn't always easy to find unanimity about anything among vintage postwar Chicago blues guitarists, but their awe of their former peer Earl Hooker and their belief that he was the unchallenged best are about as close as they get. And no wonder, given his technical mastery of slide and fretted picking with or without effects, supreme economy of motion, and ability to make the guitar talk in a human voice like no other blues guitarist,” remembers blues authority Dick Shurman. Guitarist Paul Asbell, who played with Hooker, adds, “What Earl did great while I was playing with him was play slide, in an amazingly vocal style that resembled no other Chicago player I heard except Robert Nighthawk. He often furthered the vocal effect by combining it with the wah wah pedal. I never heard anything on recordings that really showed how well he could do this, or how great he sometimes sounded. We did a version of James Brown's "I Feel Good" on which his vocal impression was uncanny.” “Hooker was the best,” is the most common response when hip blues folk are queried about Chicago blues guitarists." - Dave Rubin

"The late, great slide guitarist Earl Hooker is a hugely respected guitarist amongst countless musicians, and he has influenced many of today's finest blues guitarists. Many of his recordings are generally available, but strangely, it is not easy to find this great album.  Some of the tracks have already been issued on other Earl Hooker albums, and other blues compilation albums, especially the Bluesway collection, "Simply The Best ", issued in 1999. The tracks were recorded on 29/5/1969 at Vault Recording Studio, Los Angeles, featuring Johnny "Big Moose" Walker and Little Andrew "Blues Boy" Odom. It was originally released on BlueswayRecords in 1969. Earl Hooker was known to be uncomfortable as a vocalist, and on "Don’t Have To Worry" he mostly plays great guitar, using several different vocalists. His own composition, "Blue Guitar" is now considered aa blues classic, and he covers two Elmore James classics, "The Sky is Crying" and "Look On Yonders Wall." Buy Earl's great "Sweet Black Angel" album." -an overdose of fingal cocoa
