John Lee Hooker stands as one of the most powerful and influential figures in blues history, and Burning Hell captures him at his most raw and intimate — solo acoustic, stripped of any accompaniment, and utterly commanding. Originally released on the storied Bluesville label, this album showcases Hooker's singular guitar style and deeply expressive voice as he works through both originals and classics of the genre.
This release marks a historic milestone as the first official worldwide single LP release of Burning Hell, which had previously only been available on LP in the UK. Issued as part of the prestigious Bluesville / Acoustic Sounds Series in partnership with Acoustic Sounds and pressed at QRP, this 180-gram edition features AAA lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and arrives in a paper-wrapped tip-on jacket with an obi strip featuring notes written by Scott Billington.
