1	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $13.34!
2	Hooker 'n Heat (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat When this two-LP set was initially released in January 1971, Canned Heat was back to its R&B roots, sporting slightly revised personnel. In the spring of the previous year, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) simultaneously accepted invitations to join John Mayall's concurrent incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. This marked the ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $18.21!
3	The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $4.98!
4	Mr. Lucky (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker His latest for Virgin's blues division, contains some entertaining material. It's not a classic, but it's not half-bad either. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.75!
5	Cold as Ice (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker, Jr. John Lee Hooker, Jr. hasn't shied away from his father's immense legacy, and he always features some of Hooker, Sr.'s signature songs in concert; he included three of them on his debut album, 2004's Blues with a Vengeance, but anyone expecting him to replicate that legacy is mistaken, for Hooker is after something else again, a true synthesis of ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $15.85!
6	Endless Boogie (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $5.07! new only from $5.63!
7	The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965-1974 (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker MCA's The Best of John Lee Hooker has a misleading title. All of the 16 selections are taken from his recordings for ABC, which were made at the end of the '60s and beginning of the '70s. During this time, his producers were experimenting with his sound, adding contemporary sonic touches like funk rhythms and wah-wah pedals. Needless to say, this ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.34!
8	It Serves You Right to Suffer (1966) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $4.82!
9	That's Where It's At! (1969) more music like this by John Lee Hooker A characteristic solo outing with moody compositions and that doomy one-electric-guitar-and-stomping-foot ambience. One of his sparer and more menacing post-'50s outings, highlighted by "Two White Horses" and a seven-minute "Feel So Bad, " which features extended verbal sparring with an unidentified male partner. Richie Unterberger, All Music ... see all copies from $7.37! new only from $10.06!
10	Jack O' Diamonds: 1949 Recordings (2004) more music like this by John Lee Hooker The material on Jack o' Diamonds was recorded in 1949 but never released at the time due to John Lee Hooker's vast contractual problems. Even at this earliest point in his career, Hooker was tied up in contracts that would see him recording under several aliases in order to make some quick cash. These 20 cuts were recorded at a private gathering ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $12.96!
11 view cover	Hooker 'n' Heat (Recorded Live at the Fox Venice Theatre) (1981) more music like this by John Lee Hooker With Canned Heat Second-guessing team-up records like this one is always a fun exercise. Having worked so well together on a 1971 album of the same name, both parties hoped to make lightning strike twice in front of a sweaty crowd, with an upstart indie label capturing it all. There's also an unavoidable poignancy infusing this low-key but energetic night, since ... see all copies from $5.41! new only from $10.76!
12 view cover	The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
13 view cover	Get Back Home (1969) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker's greatness lies in his ability to perform the same songs the same way yet somehow sound different and memorable in the process. He operates at maximum efficiency in minimal surroundings with little production or assistance. That was the case on a 1969 session for Black and Blue; it was just Hooker and his guitar moaning, wailing, ... see all copies from $9.06! new only from $11.34!
14 view cover	Live at Cafe Au Go-Go (And Soledad Prison) (1967) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This reissue contains the entirety of Hooker's 1966 Cafe Au Go-Go set, and adds five bonus tracks from his 1972 album, Live at Soledad Prison. Luther Tucker is one of the guitarists for the Soledad portion, which has a somewhat more electric, rock-oriented sound than the Au Go-Go material. The disc only has five of the seven cuts from the original ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
15 view cover	The Complete 50's Chess Recordings (1998) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Hooker bounced around between label affiliations like crazy in the 1950s, recording under almost as many fake names as he did labels during that decade. His two lasting record company hookups occurred with Chess in the early 1950s and Vee-Jay later on in the decade. All of Hooker's Chess masters from that decade (he would later record in the '60s ... see all copies from $18.47! new only from $30.39!
16 view cover	The Best of Friends (1998) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos. The guest ... see all copies from $2.95!
17	Boom Boom [Classic Compact Disc] (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $20.35! new only from $26.74!
18 view cover	Boom Boom (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker won many new listeners with his 1989 star-studded comeback album, The Healer, and his 1992 studio album, Boom Boom, was designed as introduction to his classic songs for this new audience. It wasn't that The Healer or its 1991 follow-up, Mr. Lucky, avoided either Hooker's signature boogie or several of his signature tunes, but they ... see all copies from $2.22! new only from $2.22!
19 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Rhino's double-disc 1991 set The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) falls just short of the promise of its title, losing its focus toward the end of the set. That said, it comes close enough to satisfy, particularly because John Lee Hooker had such a long, convoluted discography, recording for a number of different labels over many decades. This gets ... see all copies from $18.00! new only from $33.13!
20 view cover	Alone, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $40.00! new only from $616.50!
21 view cover	Battle of Hastings Street: Raw Detroit Blues & R&B from Joe's Record Shop 1953-1954 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists If you asked even knowledgeable blues fans what blues music came from Detroit in the late '40s and early '50s, most of them probably couldn't name anything besides the early recordings of John Lee Hooker. In fact, however, some other artists did record primitive blues (often of the full-band and electric sort) in the city at the time, spurred in ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $22.95!
22 view cover	Detroit Special (1972) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
23 view cover	Hooker [Shout] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker was an active recording artist for roughly 50 years -- active in that not only did he record steadily, but he actively jumped from label to label, recording for seemingly every label, big or small, from such legendary imprints as Modern, Savoy, Chess, Vee-Jay, Impulse and Riverside, to such smaller outfits as Eagle, Sensation, ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
24 view cover	That's My Story (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker An acoustic date cut on February 9, 1960, this finds Hooker in top-notch form, running through a dozen performances in his instantly identifiable style. Except for three solo turns, Hooker is ably backed by bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes, both wisely following John Lee's idiosyncratic timing and changes. All the tunes are stretched out ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $11.63!
25 view cover	I'm in the Mood [Pazzazz] (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.25!
