Recorded live in November 1962 in San Francisco, Boogie Chillun features Hooker performing solo in a laid-back, 'unplugged' mode. Employing a mixture of acoustic and electric sounds, Hooker treats the crowd to such classics as the titular 'Boogie Chillun' and 'Dimples' (retitled as 'I Like to See You Walk') in an intimate setting. Presented as a 2-LP set, this is the kind of John Lee Hooker record you want to hear 'round about midnight when the lights are low and one that every serious fan should have in their vinyl collection.
