1	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 $6.12! new only from $6.12!
2	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 $6.95! new only from $13.28!
3	36 Blues Masterpieces (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker For a license deal and the price it's difficult to beat these " Solid Gold Collections " issued by Union Square Ltd.. There's not much in the way of packaging, but in a sense, there doesn't need to be. This John Lee Hooker set contains prime Hook -- 36 cuts -- all of them smokers from the man in his rollicking prime from the 1950s and '60s. For ... see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
4	Gold (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker never abandoned his raw, gut bucket Mississippi-Delta-comes-to-the-city approach to the blues throughout his fifty-year career, and if he got a tad bit slicker towards the end of that career, it was only a tad and only by degree. There are innumerable Hooker collections on the market, and this two-disc set wouldn't be anything ... see all copies from $11.32! new only from $11.32!
5	The Early Years (1994) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Hooker's voluminous output for Vee-Jay Records is scattered across numerous compilations. This double CD contains 31 songs spanning the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s, and is probably the most extensive and satisfying retrospective of his Vee-Jay work (at least domestically). That's not to say it's perfectly assembled; Tomato, as usual, declines to ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
6	Dusty Road (1977) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $9.90! new only from $9.90!
7	Peter Young's Soul Cellar (2006) more music like this by Various Artists A double-disc set of classic soul, funk, R&B, gospel and blues sides assembled by DJ Peter Young, this fun compilation mixes classic tracks together with relatively rare ones and emerges as a groove party in the sun. Among the highlights in a well-paced set are Curtis Mayfield's "Soul Music," Mandrill's smooth and jazzy "It's Too Late," the New ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
8	Dusty Road [Compilation] (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $8.60! new only from $8.60!
9	Boom Boom [Pazzazz] (2004) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
10	Don't Look Back [Compilation] (2004) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker worked from a stylistically limited palette, and the gutbucket blues stomp of his signature songs like "Boogie Chillun" and "Boom Boom" remained enduring and influential because of their simple, primal structure. Like an old junkyard dog, Hooker only knew a few tricks, but he did them so well that it really never mattered. This 20 ... see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!
11	John Lee Hooker [Dressed To Kill] (1999) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This budget three-disc box set collects sides John Lee Hooker recorded for the Vee-Jay and Gotham record imprints and includes Hooker classics like "Crawlin' King Snake," "Boogie Chillen'," and "Boom Boom." Hooker wasn't too particular about honoring contracts, but his relationship with Vee-Jay, which lasted from 1955 through 1964, was the closest ... see all copies from $14.85! new only from $14.85!
12	This Is Hip: The Best of John Lee Hooker [Recall] (1999) more music like this by John Lee Hooker First off, this double-disc set is on Recall; that automatically gives it some cred, as the label issues fine retrospectives: always double discs that sound good and are offered for a fair price. These 40 tracks are all sides taken from the '60s with an assortment of side musicians; some of the cuts are live, some studio, but all of them burn with ... see all copies from $22.49! new only from $22.49!
13 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 $27.73! new only from $27.73!
14 view cover	The Early Years, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $5.02! new only from $5.02!
15 view cover	Best of John Lee Hooker [Tomato Music] (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This particular best-of John Lee Hooker disc draws from Vee Jay material recorded in the late '50s and early '60s and live sessions recorded for Tomato in the early '70s. While all 14 tracks are extraordinary, the sound quality is a problem. Some performances, mainly the Tomato masters, are fine, but the Vee Jay dates, "Boom Boom" for instance, ... see all copies from $3.16! new only from $3.16!
