By 1966, Hooker’s grand tour of the record labels brought him back to Chess for whom he has recorded in 1951 and 1952. The producer was Ralph Bass. Bass cut two albums’ worth of John Lee Hooker; the first, The Real Folk Blues, was issued in October 1966; a second album was sequenced, mastered and titled – but never issued.
The first thing to become obvious, of course, is that this isn’t really folk blues. It’s John Lee Hooker – rambling, introspective, alternately menacing and tender … and mercifully plugged in. --Colin Escott (from the liner notes)

Thanks so much, Mr T. If Chess calls it "Folk" blues, then I call it indispensable. All good wishes,
Iggy
