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 $6.15! new only from $6.15!
2	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 $1.99! new only from $15.11!
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 $4.49! new only from $6.12!
4	Blues to the Bone (2004) more music like this by Etta James Etta James has worked in countless styles throughout her long career, and she is equally at home singing gospel, R&B, soul, jazz, and even rock & roll, but her roots have always been solidly planted in the blues, and she is arguably the finest living singer active in the genre. Perhaps because she doesn't sing only the blues, however, when she ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
5	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 $5.81! new only from $5.81!
6	I'll Play the Blues for You (1977) more music like this by Albert King Recorded live in Chicago in 1977, this captures a a brief set by each of these blues legends. The Albert King set finds him in excellent form, tearing up his guitar on "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "I Worked Hard," and turning in fine vocals on "The Very Thought of You" and the title track, here mistitled as "When You Down." John Lee Hooker's set is ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.99!
7	Boogie Chillun [Charly] (1972) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.67!
8	I'm John Lee Hooker (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Winding through the literally hundreds of titles in John Lee Hooker's catalog is a daunting task for even the most seasoned and learned blues connoisseur. This is especially true when considering Hooker recorded under more than a dozen aliases for as many labels during the late '40s, '50s, and early '60s. I'm John Lee Hooker was first issued in ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
9	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!
10	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 $2.62! new only from $2.62!
11	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!
12 view cover	Live at Sugar Hill, Vol. 2 (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Why they kept these 19 recordings locked up in some vault for 40 years is beyond comprehension. A chunk of the Live at Sugar Hill material -- recorded at a club in the Bay Area -- was issued by Fantasy as Boogie Chillun on LP in 1972. It is available on CD minus one track under the same title. As good as that material was, these tracks from the ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
13 view cover	Forever Gold (1999) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $5.15! new only from $5.15!
14 view cover	Essential Blues Guitar (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues Guitar is a celebratory collection of swamp blues, electric blues, and modern blues, and an excellent honor to the guitar -- the instrument that made the blues genre one of the 20th century's jubilant sounds. This stunning two-disc compilation, a sister release to the House of Blues label's Essential Blues Harmonica, showcases ... see all copies from $9.75!

King ("The Thrill is Gone") and Lightnin' Hopkins ("Santa Fe Blues"). Many of the tracks are re-recordings. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.62! new only from $6.74!

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!
