1970 ABC/BluesWay 1st Pressing Stereo Release of Bandleader/Composer/Guitarist/Pioneering Detroit Blues Vocalist John Lee Hooker and His Cousin Bandleader/Composer/Guitar Master Earl Hooker Entitled If You Miss 'Im...I Got 'Im, Produced by Ed Michel, Engineer Is Ed Fournier, Originally Recorded at Vault Studios in Los Angeles on May 29 of 1969, All Compositions Written by John Lee Hooker - "This album is marked by the interaction between John Lee Hooker and his guitar-playing cousin Earl. Earl, who succumbed to illness in 1970, was a fine bluesman in his own right, possessing a formidable slide technique. Many are unaware that the two often performed together, and the band that accompanies John Lee here also backed Earl frequently. The opening cut, then, a slow 12-bar number called "The Hookers" is not about ladies of the evening, but rather about the gentlemen in question. Heard here less than a year before his death, Earl still sounds frisky and versatile, often utilizing a funky wah-wah style without ever descending into the psychedelic excesses that plagued so many late-'60s electric blues albums. One of the most effective cuts is "Lonesome Mood," a low-key, one-chord stomper in the classic John Lee mold, where Earl's wah-wah guitar meshes with Johnny Walker's organ and Jefferey Carp's harmonica to create a subtly shifting, sensuously undulating web of sound over which John Lee works his hoodoo. On IF YOU MISS 'IM, John Lee definitely benefits from keeping it in the family." - Sensational Personnel for the Two Sextets Features Legendary Composer John Lee Hooker on Guitar and Vocals, the Great Earl Hooker or Paul Asbell on Additional Guitar, Jeffrey Carp on Harmonica, the Brilliant Johnny "Bull Moose" on Piano & Organ, Chester "Gino" Skaggs on Fender Bass and Roosevelt Shaw on on Drums! - Selections on Side One Are the Hookers(If You Miss 'Im...I Got 'Im), Baby I Love You, Lonesome Mood at 5 Minutes 11 Seconds, Bang Bang Bang Bang & If You Take Care of Me I'll Take Care of You - Tracks for Side Two Consist of Baby Be Strong, I Wanna Be Your Puppy Baby, I Don't Care when You Go and Have Mercy on My Soul at 7 Minutes 54 Seconds - Used Copy, Cover Near Mint Still in Plastic Sealant Wrapper, Record Has some very Light Surface Wear - Stereo Recording, Product Code BLS-6038 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
