If there was a more immaculate slide guitarist residing in Chicago during the 1950s and '60s than Earl Hooker, his name has yet to surface. Boasting a fretboard touch so smooth and clean that every note rang as clear and precise as a bell..."

Yeehaw! Many thanks!
Great choice ! Many thanks, KC.
Really enjoying the earlier post you did on Hooker. Can't wait to hear these two.
Always good to pick up on someone you hadn't come across before. Have been listening to these two on repeat today. Luvvin 'em. Always had a thing for wah-wah. That "New Sweet Black Angel" is a real peach too. Thanks KC, as ever, for the education.
