According to Ms Williams this cd was recorded in the late 50's and the liner notes confirm this, UNFORTUNATELY thats the only information we have on this offering!!! The musicians are not credited, although one reviewer says it is Eddie Kirkland on second guitar: it sure sounds like it could be him! In any case, as Ms Williams notes, this is a great set of predominately slow blues, except for the opening track I BOUGHT YOU A BRAND NEW HOME which is up-tempo. All in all, The set is a very satisfying listen, the backing trio being tight and providing plenty of solid accompaniment. The stand out is the second guitar, whoever it is! Well worth a place in any Hooker catalog! 'Nuf said!

I bought this album without ever hearing a single note in the late 1970's. I fell in love with John Lees' voice and musical atmosphere they brought to this recording. I tried to find other John Lee Hooker recordings that were simular in style, but to be totally frank, none can be found. I have alot of JLH greatest hits albums, but "Sittin' Here Thinking" is a JHL masterpice! This recording can become your best friend when you're lonely or just alone. Great guitar playing, great singing, not so great musicianship which makes this a great blues recording. Oh yes, my frist copy was stolen and I was never able to find it until I discovered it in CD form @ Amazon.
