The Definitive Collection [Hip-O]

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 ...

The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino]

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, ...

The Best of Friends

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 ...

36 Blues Masterpieces

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 ...

Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions

Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions (2001) more music like this

by James Blood Ulmer

Over three days in April 2001, James "Blood" Ulmer and producer/guitarist Vernon Reid (yes, of Living Colour fame) went into the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and kicked out some of the greasiest, knottiest, most surreal blues music ever. The blues have always been part of Ulmer's iconography, even when deeply entrenched in the harmolodic ...

The Best of John Lee Hooker [GNP]

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 ...

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 ...

Rolling Stone Presents: Blues (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's hard not to look at the ten songs that comprise Rolling Stone presents Blues and think that this is the reason why so many blues fans are disenchanted with the state of contemporary blues. This is what most modern listeners think of when they think of the blues -- slick, stylized blues-rock, played either by veterans of the British Invasion ...

The Very Best of the Blues Years (2000) more music like this

by Canned Heat

This compilation is taken from a pair of Canned Heat titles of spurious origin featuring two distinct lineups. Chronologically, the first to have been recorded is Vintage, consisting of cuts one through seven as well as track nine, "Straight Ahead." These predate their Liberty Records deal and are, in essence, demos circa 1966. Their raw, ...

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 ...

G.I. Jane (1997) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" is here, along with Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love," which is also a good song, if you could cut out about eight bars at the end. And John Lee Hooker is his own bad self with "Dimples." But the bookends of the G.I. Jane soundtrack are the interesting points. The CD opens with two newly recorded ...

I'm a Man [Sundazed] (1967) more music like this

by The Spencer Davis Group

Steve Winwood and Muff Winwood had left the Spencer Davis Group just a few months before the summer 1967 release of their second U.S. album, which nonetheless was entirely comprised of songs done by the original lineup. Like their first U.S. album, Gimme Some Lovin', it was a more or less arbitrary assortment of songs that had been recorded by the ...

The Story of Vee-Jay: America's Premier Black Music Label (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

"America's Premier Black Music Label" says the small print on the front sleeve, and while that's highly disputable, Vee-Jay was undoubtedly one of America's premier black music labels from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. This two-CD, 50-song set is a strong and varied selection of their wares, focusing mostly but not exclusively on their hit singles ...

The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 2 is an average collection of 16 tracks from both electric and acoustic blues heroes, including John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and even Billie Holiday. While the sound quality tends to be muddy, this is a decent blues primer for the novice at a bargain-bin price. Al ...
