Earl Hooker

10140 fans

This cousin of John Lee Hooker began his career in Memphis, recording for Sun, before moving to Chicago, where he became one of the most sought-after guitarists on stage and in the studio. His featured work is limited, but of incomparable instrumental quality. Influenced by Robert Nighthawk as much as by country music virtuoso Joe Maphis, Earl Hooker was a swift, precise, sensitive and innovative guitarist until his death from tuberculosis.
