At the beginning of his career, Hooker's sides were leased to several different labels. This 20-song anthology of material from the late '40s and early '50s was originally released on the Sensation and Specialty labels; while the track listings indicate a timespan of 1948-50, the liner notes say that much of it was recorded in 1954. Doesn't anyone proofread these things? Anyway, this was mostly recorded solo, and boasts his characteristic spooky electric minimalist boogie sound. The Legendary Modern Recordings, covering the same era, is a better place to start for this kind of thing due to its stronger content. If you want more of the same, though, this (and Capitol's Alternative Boogie) is the next stop. -- Richie Unterberger, AllMusic (4/5 stars)

BONUS 4 OF 4
Mongo Santamaria Soul Bag '68
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/97716757/file.html
Ably supported by a cast including flutist Hubert Laws, saxophonist Sonny Fortune, and drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, conguero Mongo Santamaria rejoins the hit parade with Soul Bag, galvanizing contemporary chart smashes with the energy and fire of his trademark Latin soul -- the approach may frustrate listeners yearning for a return to the traditional charanga sensibilities that defined the percussionist's early dates for Fantasy, but there's no denying the sheer energy and infectiousness of this music. As its title promises, Soul Bag forgoes the British Invasion covers of Santamaria's other Columbia efforts to focus on the indelible soul records coming out of Motown, Stax and Atlantic -- his readings of "In the Midnight Hour," "Respect," and "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" are respectful yet ingenious, with righteously funky rhythms that intertwine with the original melodies like strands of DNA.
