Chicago Blues Guitar Master:

Earl Zebedee Hooker migrated from Mississippi to Chicago and became a Blues guitar giant. Ill health and relatively few recordings prevented him from attaining the status of his peers Buddy Guy and Magic Sam but his virtuosity eventually influenced many of today's great guitarists. Earl Hooker passed in 1970.
