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 $9.86! new only from $9.86!
2	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 $2.99! new only from $2.99!
3	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 $14.76! new only from $14.76!
4	La Serpenta Canta (2003) more music like this by Diamanda Galás Blues is a scary form of music. The authentic blues relies on the turmoil of strong, often shameful emotions. Bluesmen like John Lee Hooker and Screamin' Jay Hawkins could sing in a very scary voice that sent shivers down your spine. So can Diamanda Galás. In fact, she's the scariest of them all. Then again, she's not a blues singer. Or isn't she? ... see all copies from $10.31! new only from $10.31!
5	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 $7.50!
6	Hooker [Box Set] (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!
7	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 $27.45! new only from $27.45!
8	Graveyard Blues (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker At the beginning of his career, Hooker's sides were leased to several different labels. This 20-song anthology of material from the late '40s and early '50s was originally released on the Sensation and Specialty labels; while the track listings indicate a timespan of 1948-50, the liner notes say that much of it was recorded in 1954. Doesn't anyone ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.73!
9	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 $9.89! new only from $9.89!
10	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 $24.24! new only from $24.24!
11 view cover	Boogie Chillen [Indigo] (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 20-track compilation is taken solely from 1948-49 sessions, an era that has been drawn from repeatedly for Hooker anthologies. If anyone ever assembles a comprehensive Hooker discography that delineates not only his original releases, but where and when these have been reissued, he or she deserves a government grant or something, because it's ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $7.94!
12 view cover	Boogie Chillen: 1948-1949 [EPM] (2000) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $13.26! new only from $13.26!
13 view cover	Hooker 'n' Heat (1971) more music like this by Canned Heat Canned Heat brought a fresh personnel to this confab with blues legend John Lee Hooker (guitar/vocals). Likewise, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) linked up with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers during the spring of 1970. In their stead, Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar) returned from a failed outing as "The Sun" with ... see all copies from $26.45! new only from $26.45!
