Matrix #: DY 7301
Condition: EX, sounds great, looks good, a few very light marks (CC) | Members: John L (17' - 01')
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Hooker left Mississippi as a teenager after poverty and family rupture, then worked factory jobs in Detroit while building his night-life blues career.
2. Scene Ecology: Budget blues LPs like this helped move older regional recordings into department stores and drugstore bins for listeners outside the club circuit.
3. Media Narrative: Hooker’s image often got sold as raw authenticity, but behind it was a disciplined working musician who understood labels, aliases, and survival.
