Earl Hooker became Chicago's best guitarist in the late 1950s, and his singing playing sometimes evoked the blues more eloquently than the singers. This album contains a selection of works released on the independent label Chief/Age/Mel Ron, which led Chicago blues from 1960 to 1963, including "Blue Guitar," which was later taken up by Otis Rush and became a blues guitar instrumental masterpiece, "Universal Rock," a rocking blues instrumental featuring harp from Junior Wells, who often performed with Hooker, and "This Little Voice" by AC Reid, which shows off his skill as a vocal accompaniment master. This is the guitar that sings the blues!
