The genius of Earl Hooker

I used to say to Susan 'only a few more Chicago blues albums to get and then I will have a complete collection' - of course the trouble is more and more compilations get issued so it never gets completed. An example of this phenomenon is the release of this compilation on vinyl of the great Earl Hooker. If you don't know the man's work then you should watch this clip from 1969 - brilliant.
