John Lee Hooker - Burning Hell

Celebrate the 60th anniversary of the release of Burning Hell, originally recorded in 1959 in Detroit, MI, but wasn’t released until 1964. Even then, it was only available in the UK. This vinyl pressing marks the first official single LP worldwide release the album has seen. The album features Hooker solo as he plays originals and classics. AllMusic states that, on this album, “Hooker shows himself to be an excellent interpreter who could have held his own with Delta bluesmen of any era.” Highlights include "Baby Please Don't Go", "Smokestack Lightnin'" and the title track "Burnin' Hell".

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Craft Recordings in 2024.
