Hooker recorded extensively between 1950 and 1952. His blues appeared on a variety of labels under a variety of pseudonyms, including Birmingham Sam, Delta John, Texas Slim, Johnny Lee, John Williams, Boogie Man, and John Lee Booker. This release, including his hit "Mad Man Blues", covers the very best of a very splendid Hooker on Chess Records. A great success!! Track listing - Side A: 1. The Journey 2.
