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.

7	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.

11	Blues Legend (2006) 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. He also never met a record contract with an exclusivity clause he felt he needed to honor, ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.36!
12 view cover	John Lee Hooker [P-Vine Japan] (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker The 16 tracks on this John Lee Hooker compilation were recorded at Joe Van Battle's rather fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants Detroit studio in the late '40s and early '50s and subsequently licensed to and released on King Records. Since Hooker was under contract to LA's Modern Records during this time, these sides were issued under various pseudonyms ... see all copies from $22.15! new only from $22.15!
