[Machine Translation] Earl Hooker became one of Chicago's best guitarists in the late 1959's, and his singing and playing evoked the blues more eloquently than the singer at times. The album includes "Blue Guitar," a blues guitar instrumental masterpiece that was later picked up by Otis Rush and others, "Universal Rock," a rocking blues instrumental that also features the harp of Junior Wells, with whom he often collaborated, and "A. Hooker," which showcases his skill as a vocal accompanist. A.C. Reed's "Dis Little Voice" also shows off his vocal accompaniment skills. This is a guitar that sings the blues! With obi.
