John Lee Hooker - "The Real Folk Blues" Acoustic Sounds label_Svart Records and Jacklyn LaBranchIn the mid 1960s, Chess Records released a series of The Real Folk Blues albums that compiled singles from the careers of some of it's greatest artists. John Lee Hooker's The Real Folk Blues differed from many of the other compilations as it featured newly recorded sessions for the label. These legendary 1966 recordings capture the essence of his signature sound and approach to the blues. Standout tracks include "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,"
