John Lee Hooker - Boogie Chillen' 75th Anniversary

This year commemorates the 75th anniversary of the release of John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen'." Recorded in Detroit in September 1948 by Bernard Besman, who operated his own Sensation label, the record was subsequently licensed to Modern Records in Los Angeles and officially released on November 3rd, featuring "Sally May" on the B-side.
The record achieved instant success, with estimates suggesting it sold nearly one million copies in 1949. This remarkable achievement firmly established Hooker as one of the most esteemed blues artists of his era.
The original release was a 78rpm single, a format retained in the 2020 reissue, which included "Boogie Chillen’ #2" on the flip side.
Ace Records will release "Boogie Chillen’" and "Boogie Chillen’ #2" as a limited-edition 7" 45rpm single on November 24th. This classic recording still sounds as fresh and rhythmically propulsive as ever. It’s hard to believe that you are listening to just one man with his guitar…
There are classic songs, there are undeniably timeless classics, and then there is "Boogie Chillen’."
