Released in 1964, 'Burning Hell' holds a special place in John Lee Hooker's prolific discography.
When it was recorded in Detroit in April 1959, the King of Boogie was accompanied only by his acoustic guitar during intimate sessions that led to the creation of landmark original compositions (“Graveyard Blues” and the album’s title track), not to mention seminal reinterpretations of the standards “Baby, Please Don’t Go” and “Key to the Highway.”
