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 Healer (1989) more music like this by John Lee Hooker The Healer was a major comeback for John Lee Hooker. Featuring a wide array of guest stars, including Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, Johnnie Johnson, and Los Lobos, The Healer captured widespread media attention because of all the superstar musicians involved in its production. Unfortunately, that long guest list is what makes the album a fairly ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $8.00!
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 $6.12! new only from $6.12!
4	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 $13.28!
5	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 ... see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
6	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!
7	Bird Nest on the Ground (1994) more music like this by Doyle Bramhall Well, they say the best things in life are worth waiting for -- drummer Bramhall started recording this tasty blues-rock album in 1980, wrapping it up in 1992 -- here it is, out on Antone's in 1994. Not a shabby effort, either -- Bramhall has that big smoky Bob Seger kind of voice, and the music is muscular and warm, a friendly, welcome bar-rock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Cold as Ice (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker, Jr. John Lee Hooker, Jr. hasn't shied away from his father's immense legacy, and he always features some of Hooker, Sr.'s signature songs in concert; he included three of them on his debut album, 2004's Blues with a Vengeance, but anyone expecting him to replicate that legacy is mistaken, for Hooker is after something else again, a true synthesis of ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
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	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 $11.32! new only from $11.32!
11	Almost 42nd Street (2003) more music like this by Mike Whellans see all copies from $15.99! new only from $15.99!
12 view cover	His Best Chess Sides (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Hooker, as anyone with a decent-sized blues collection knows, recorded for a virtual parade of labels early in his career, including Chess, although his stays with the company were fairly brief. Hooker's best early recordings, most would agree, were issued on Modern and Vee Jay, not Chess. Still, if the only Hooker extant was his Chess sides, his ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!

14 view cover	The Best of Rhythm and Blues 1950-1951 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc, 48-track collection from French label EPM Musique concentrates on a single year of American R&B releases (1950-1951), and while there are a few fairly widely circulated cuts like Lowell Fulson's influential "Everyday I Have the Blues," most of what is here is seldom anthologized, which makes this set a real delight for fans of early ... see all copies from $18.17! new only from $18.17!

16 view cover	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!
17 view cover	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (2007) 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 $12.69! new only from $12.69!

20 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $21.47! new only from $21.47!

22 view cover	Hooker [Shout] (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 $42.27! new only from $48.35!

24 view cover	Blues from the Motor City (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This collection centers on the prolific John Lee Hooker's recordings for Bernie Besman at United Sound Studios in Detroit between 1948 and 1952 (these were leased to Modern Records in Los Angeles, although Besman did release some of them on his own Sensation Records imprint). There are countless compilations of Hooker material on the market, ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
