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 $4.05! new only from $4.05!
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 $6.12! new only from $6.12!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	Live at Newport (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Live at Newport is an addition to the already huge pile of archival John Lee Hooker releases (one that will surely continue to grow as licenses to Hooker's myriad recordings for different labels exchange hands). What differentiates this release from many of the others is that it focuses on a pair of acoustic performances from the bluesman, a ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
7	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!
8	Blues at Newport (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Blues at Newport -- Newport Folk Festival 1959-64 offers fine performances by John Hurt, Skip James, Rev. Gary Davis, Robert Wilkins, and others. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.23! new only from $15.23!
9	Golden Legends [Direct Source] (2000) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $3.86! new only from $3.86!
10	Vanguard Newport Folk Festival Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Founded in 1959 by Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand, Pete Seeger, George Wein, and Albert Grossman, and modeled after the already established and successful Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival ran in its original configuration throughout the '60s before running out of gas in 1971 (the festival was revived in 1985 and has run annually ever ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $12.47!
11	Forever Gold (1999) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $5.15! new only from $5.15!
12 view cover	The Best of John Lee Hooker [EMI-Capitol Special Markets] (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $5.40! new only from $5.40!
13 view cover	Great (1996) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
14 view cover	Rock with Me (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker There are literally dozens of John Lee Hooker compilations out there. Many of them come from far more important eras than the stuff here. That said, this is one recording for Hooker collectors. The material comes form the 1960s and '70s, all of it with a band. But the real thing to recommend this set over others -- for hardcore fans -- is the 18 ... see all copies from $12.91! new only from $14.29!
15 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 $17.79! new only from $17.79!
16 view cover	Most Famous Hits: The Album (1997) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $4.83!
17 view cover	The Real Blues Brothers (1987) more music like this by Various Artists This is a nice Vee-Jay collection with representative cuts from Pee Wee Crayton, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Lightnin' Hopkins, Billy Boy Arnold, Memphis Slim and a stray track from Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. The big ticket for collectors on this one, however, is the inexplicable bonus of a previously unissued Eddie Taylor number, "Leave ... see all copies from $7.96!
18 view cover	The Gold Collection [Retro] (2000) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.54!
19 view cover	My Dusty Roads (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This collection centers on the prolific John Lee Hooker's recordings for Vee-Jay Records in the late '50s and early '60s. Some of this material is as smooth as Hooker ever got (relatively speaking, of course). Check out "Onions" here to get a glimpse of what Hooker might have sounded like in a parallel universe backed up by Booker T. & the MG's ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.65!

24	Solid Sender (1984) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $18.00!
25 view cover	The Folk Lore of John Lee Hooker (1961) more music like this by John Lee Hooker From the vaults of Vee Jay Records comes an abundance of classic John Lee Hooker reissues, featuring original art work, running orders, and budget prices courtesy of the Collectables label. With the amount of Hooker material available on the market, some of it is of dubious quality, but you can't go wrong with these reissues. The Folk Lore of John ... see all copies from $41.16! new only from $41.16!
