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 ...

Gold

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 ...

His Best Chess Sides (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection)

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 ...

The Complete 50's Chess Recordings

The Complete 50's Chess Recordings (1998) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

Hooker bounced around between label affiliations like crazy in the 1950s, recording under almost as many fake names as he did labels during that decade. His two lasting record company hookups occurred with Chess in the early 1950s and Vee-Jay later on in the decade. All of Hooker's Chess masters from that decade (he would later record in the '60s ...

Mad Man Blues (1974) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

In the 1980s, John Lee Hooker's career revitalized with The Healer, which won a Grammy, and concurrent with this release was a resurgence of interest in Hooker as a recording artist. This interest occasioned the reissue of much of the Chess catalog of his early work. This 1984 double album, whose song lineup is almost identical to a 1982 Chess ...

Down Home Blues

Down Home Blues (2004) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker never met a record contract with an exclusivity clause he felt he needed to honor, and he recorded under countless different names for any label that would pay him the cash in the early going, filling the start of his imposingly lengthy discography with probably more questions than answers. During the period of time covered by this ...
