My friend New York Stan, who played with the Incredible String Band and managed Muddy, talks reverentially about Earl Hooker as do many blues aficionados. I like him but he doesn't rise to the Magic Sam level in my personal pantheon. Haven't heard enough of him actually.
I was looking for a Steve Miller song on his discography the other day and saw this 1969 Arhoolie release that I never knew existed.
Miller plays piano and organ, sings on a track or two. Louis Myers on harp.
Steve Miller is pretty amazing. A child prodigy, he was a friend and student of Les Paul. I have seen him many times and he really loves the blues! What a voice and band too, underrated, especially the early stuff.
