This 1974 album captures Hooker in a rare studio setting with a unified band, laying down a set of blues standards and originals with uncommon focus.
- The album was recorded in San Francisco with a band that included Mark Naftalin on keyboards and Jim Booker on rhythm guitar.
- "Burnin'" was one of several albums Hooker recorded for the ABC Records subsidiary Bluesway in the 1970s.
- AllMusic notes that the album is a solid, if not groundbreaking, example of Hooker's electric blues style.
John Lee Hooker was a blues musician from Mississippi, best known for his foundational work in electric blues and boogie-woogie. "Burnin'" was released late in his career, featuring a tighter band than some of his earlier, more improvisational work.
