“If You Miss ’Im ... I Got ’Im” by John Lee Hooker featuring Earl Hooker - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1970Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s

TJR says

Earl Hooker and his band backed his cousin John Lee Hooker on a series of club dates in California; afterwards John Lee decided to use them for his latest Bluesway Records session, duly recorded at Vault Recordings, Los Angeles, 29 May, 1969. Great synergy abounds, as cool as you like at every turn, with slow-burning hooks that drill deep-down. The line-up is: John Lee Hooker (guitar, vocals); Earl Hooker (guitar); Chester ‘Gino’ Skaggs (bass); Roosevelt Shaw (drums); Jeffrey Carp (harmonica) and Johnny ‘Big Moose’ Walker (piano, organ). Tragically, Earl died just as the LP was released, the result of a life-long battle with T.B.
