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 1965-1974 (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker MCA's The Best of John Lee Hooker has a misleading title. All of the 16 selections are taken from his recordings for ABC, which were made at the end of the '60s and beginning of the '70s. During this time, his producers were experimenting with his sound, adding contemporary sonic touches like funk rhythms and wah-wah pedals. Needless to say, this ... see all copies from $2.09! new only from $8.66!
4	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!
5	Knäckebröd Blues (2004) more music like this by Louise Hoffsten see all copies from $5.49! new only from $6.33!
6	Gratitude (2003) more music like this by Tommy Castro As its title suggests, Tommy Castro's seventh album is a note of thanks to the artists who inspired the West Coast guitarist/vocalist. While rocking R&B and blues greats like B.B. and Albert King, Chuck Berry and Buddy Guy are obvious choices, Castro digs deep into their catalogs. He covers B.B. King's "Bad Case of Love," Albert King's "Everybody ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $9.97!
7	Home of the Blues [MCA] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.20! new only from $3.20!
8	The Essential Collection (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $10.32! new only from $10.32!
9	Got a Feeling Called the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists From the master compilers at Hear Music comes Got a Feeling Called the Blues, an outstanding collection of blues works from the various masters of the form. The bulk of the performances hail from between the 1930s and the 1960s, with an exception or two as necessary to catch a major performer. Slim Harpo opens up the album with a bit of jumping ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $4.99!
10	Blues Classics [MCA] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Classics is a three-disc box set that attempts to tell the history of the blues over the course of its 72 tracks. In a way, it does offer a good sampler. Drawing from tracks recorded between 1927 and 1969, many major artists are featured: Muddy Wateres, Howlin' Wolf, Roosevelt Sykes, B.B. King, Lonnie Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Bobby Bland, ... see all copies from $64.09! new only from $64.09!
11	The Real Blues: Live in Houston 1979 (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker The late '70s were not a particularly creative period for John Lee Hooker. This live album contains several notable cuts, in particular long, mesmerizing versions of "Dead Wagon Blues" and "Never Get out of These Blues Alive," but it's really only an album that Hooker fanatics will find essential, even though it emerges as one of the best records ... see all copies from $8.07! new only from $8.07!
12	Born in Poverty (2002) more music like this by Jimmy Dawkins see all copies from $31.79! new only from $31.79!

15 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of John Lee Hooker (1999) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around -- well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ... see all copies from $8.11! new only from $8.11!
16 view cover	Generations of Blues, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Subtitled "Legendary Guitarists," this compilation includes B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" and Freddie King's "Hideaway," with immortal all-time memorable guitar solos. There is a nice addition of acoustic guitarists. There's Rev. Gary Davis (doing a precious "You Got to Move,") Skip James, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Mississippi John Hurt and ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $3.95!
