John Lee Hooker

For Boogie Chillen', Audio Fidelity went back to the original 1948-1954 recording session tapes of these "Detroit Blues Masterpieces" for the SACD edition. The only exception will be the title track since recording tape was not in use in 1948 at the United Sound recording studio in Detroit when it was recorded. In that case, "Boogie Chillen'" was transferred from the surviving 78 RPM acetate record. The SACD compilation and remastering work for the album was done by Steve Hoffman at Kevin Gray's AcousTech Mastering Studio with Lon Neumann serving as the DSD Technician on the remastering session.

Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're likely to come across.

t Serve You Right To Suffer was recorded in New York City in late 1965, and released in 1966. Hooker’s career defining singles were generally cut without much of a backing band–Hooker’s refusal to keep his blues constricted to structures like a single key, tempo, or rhythm scared off most potential bandmates–but producer Bob Thiele had what was a radical idea: he paired Hooker with the cream of the crop in Impulse!’s roster of jazz sidemen. The result is an artifact that features a rare cultural dialogue; the Delta Bluesman riding in the car with the bebop jazzbo.

"John Lee Hooker was truly a seminal blues artist. Many of his songs are part of America's blues music treasury," said blues historian and Founding Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum Bob Santelli. "
