Tupelo Blues

Recorded in April 1959, Tupelo Blues was Hooker’s first LP packaged for the folk/traditional blues market, where the blues legend played nothing but the acoustic guitar, and sang straight to the bone with his soul drenched vocal delivery. The album was a key change from his earlier recordings, most of which had featured Hooker on an electric guitar with his trademark reverb and stomping foot. This is an intimate session featuring standards such as “How Long Blues”, “Bottle Up and Go”, and his first recorded take of “Tupelo Blues”, one of his all- time classics.

The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc.
