Earl Hooker, Blues Master

The life and early death of a South Side guitar genius is told in this biography of the greatest unheralded Chicago bluesmaker. On the verge of international stardom when he died of tuberculosis in 1970, Hooker's life story has all the elements of a great blues song: late nights, long roads, poverty, trouble, and a soul-felt pining for what could have been. 16 illustrations.
