1	Best of the Blues, Vol. 1 [Cema] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Oddball budget set of blues by some fairly big names. Kicking off with the original studio recording of B.B. King's "Everyday I Have the Blues," the set also includes sides from Muddy Waters (a live recording of "Rock Me"), Charles Brown, Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Roy Brown, and others. The title may be ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.98!
2	American Roots Songbook: The Blues from Memphis to the Mississippi Delta (2003) more music like this by Various Artists This brief collection features live performances from several blues artists, and while pleasant enough, there is nothing particularly compelling here. For some reason Bukka White's version of "Shake 'Em On Down" is called "Remembrance of Charlie Patton." Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $9.99!
4	The Best of John Lee Hooker [GNP] (1973) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Here's 20 of John Lee Hooker's Vee-Jay recordings. It's a mixed batch of full-band sides -- some that work, some that don't -- a couple of live solo tracks (dubbed from noisy vinyl, too), and some solo studio tracks that include re-cuts of his early hits like "Boogie Chillun" and "I'm in the Mood." As Hooker collections go, this one's not bad, but ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
5	Evidence Blues Sampler (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Evidence's blues reissue campaign has been exhaustive and diverse in its artistic and stylistic range, something that is reflected in this 15-cut sampler culled from various sessions. There is vintage material from John Lee Hooker, J.B. Hutto, and the tandem of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, plus classic R&B by Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.75!
6	Alone (1976) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Because he's so loose and improvisatory -- and because he loves to twist the 12-bar format into so many different shapes and sizes -- John Lee Hooker can present a major challenge to sidemen. More than a few times, Hooker has done without sidemen altogether and gone it alone with thrilling results. That's exactly what happens on Alone, an ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
7	I Heard It on NPR: Shake These Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists A spread-all-over-the-place collection of old, modern, and contemporary blues artists, this NPR anthology is just idiosyncratic enough to be unique and interesting, particularly Alvin Youngblood Hart's exuberant take on Bukka White's "How Long Before I Change My Clothes," and Otis Taylor's spooky and kinetic "My Soul's in Louisiana." Steve ... see all copies from $8.84! new only from $8.84!
8	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 $4.99!
9	Definitive Collection [Metro] (2000) more music like this by John Lee Hooker No, it's not the definitive collection, covering just Hooker's time with Vee-Jay from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. In fact, it's not even the definitive collection of the Vee-Jay years, although with 24 tracks, it's pretty long for a single-disc retrospective of that phase. Hooker's Vee-Jay catalog is pretty well traveled, and this isn't the ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
10	Absolutely the Best of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.89! new only from $10.29!
11	I Heard It on NPR: Jazz for Blue Nights/At Home in the World/Shake These Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.36! new only from $27.11!
12	Blues Kingpins (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker If John Lee Hooker hadn't existed, the blues would have had to invent him, because he provides a perfect bridge between prewar country blues from the south and the urban electric blues that took form in Chicago and other Northern cities following the war. Hooker's first big hit, the primeval "Boogie Chillen'" from 1948, is a case in point, with ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!

14 view cover	Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey (2001) more music like this by Various Artists English musicians listened and learned from the blues long before their American counterparts did. In fact, the Rolling Stones and the Yarbirds covered classic blues material, re-introducing Americans to their own music. Now Document has given Bill Wyman the opportunity to trace his romance with the blues over a two-disc set, beginning with Mamie ... see all copies from $18.56! new only from $18.56!

16	Blues Brothers [Video] (1984) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
17 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 $14.57! new only from $14.57!
18 view cover	Blues Legends [Boxsets 1995] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Legends combines previously released live albums by B.B. King (How Blue Can You Get), John Lee Hooker (Trouble Blues), and Muddy Waters (I'm Ready Live!) into one package, and while there is no denying that all three of these musicians are indeed bona fide and certified blues legends, these live sets aren't exactly the place to start for any ... see all copies from $7.34!
19 view cover	The Hook: 20 Years of Hits (1989) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker's excellent Vee-Jay material of the 1950s and '60s has been reissued time and time again, both in the U.S. and in Europe. The Hook is a 16-song CD that Chameleon released in 1989 for its Vee-Jay Hall of Fame series. As was the case with other Chameleon reissues of Vee-Jay material, The Hook's liner notes are inadequate -- neither ... see all copies from $3.83!

21 view cover	Burning Hell [Our World] (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker In April 1959, John Lee Hooker recorded a couple of solo acoustic albums for Riverside that were his first efforts geared toward the folk/acoustic blues audience, rather than the commercial R&B one. One of these albums (The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker) was issued at the time; the other, Burning Hell, wasn't issued until 1964, and then only in ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $4.39!
22 view cover	The Complete, Vol. 1 - Detroit 1948-1949 (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Body & Soul has undertaken the huge task of issuing all of John Lee Hooker's recorded work in chronological order, beginning with this double-disc set, which includes Hooker's earliest Detroit recordings, kicking off with "Rocks," tracked on June 12, 1948, in a little studio behind Elmer Barbee's record shop on Lafayette Street. Most of the sides ... see all copies from $35.57! new only from $35.57!

24 view cover	Classic Early Years 1948-51 (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This four-disc box from London's JSP Records collects an astounding 100 songs recorded by John Lee Hooker in Detroit from the years 1948 to 1952, including his first two sides ever, the signature tunes "Boogie Chillen" and "Sally Mae." Most of the tracks here are done solo, with Hooker's ever-present foot-stomping, although a few feature other ... see all copies from $26.68! new only from $26.68!
25 view cover	Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This interesting release re-creates the look and contents of the 1964 Kent Records LP called Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker right down to the original sleeve art, and ups the ante by including a previously unreleased version of "Let Your Daddy Ride" as well as six other additional bonus tracks. Most of these cuts were recorded with Bernie ... see all copies from $14.90! new only from $14.90!
