Don't Turn Me from Your Door comprises a set of 1953 sessions that were originally released in 1963 and later in 1972, under the title
Detroit Special. Despite its twisted historical background, this is fine, first-rate
Hooker. A few tracks feature the support of guitarist/vocalist
Eddie Kirkland, a few others, an unnamed bassist, but this is pretty much pure
John Lee Hooker -- just him and a guitar, running through a set of spare, haunting
blues that include such tracks as
"Blue Monday" and
"Stuttering Blues." There are none of his best-known tracks on the album, but it's one of his most consistent original records.
