1	Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $15.34!
2	The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Rhino's double-disc 1991 set The Ultimate Collection (1948-1990) falls just short of the promise of its title, losing its focus toward the end of the set. That said, it comes close enough to satisfy, particularly because John Lee Hooker had such a long, convoluted discography, recording for a number of different labels over many decades. This gets ... see all copies from $33.62! new only from $33.62!
3	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Of all the Chess albums in the Real Folk Blues series, the ones by John Lee Hooker might be most valued by hardened blues collectors. That's not so much because of the music -- actually the Real Folk Blues albums by some other artists, like Howlin' Wolf, are better -- but rather because, unlike the other records in the series, it was not simply a ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.00!
4	Golden Greats: Greatest Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.89! new only from $17.89!
5	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!
6	Classic Early Years 1948-51 (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This four-disc box from London's JSP Records collects an astounding 100 songs recorded by John Lee Hooker in Detroit from the years 1948 to 1952, including his first two sides ever, the signature tunes "Boogie Chillen" and "Sally Mae." Most of the tracks here are done solo, with Hooker's ever-present foot-stomping, although a few feature other ... see all copies from $14.85! new only from $25.21!
7	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 $12.19! new only from $12.19!
8	House Rent Boogie [Ace] (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker There were already quite a few CDs' worth of early Hooker sides from the late '40s and early '50s on the market -- such as The Legendary Modern Recordings 1948-1954, the three-CD Alternate Boogie: Early Studio Recordings, 1948-1952, and Graveyard Blues -- prior to the 2001 appearance of this collection. So, is there a point to unearthing yet more ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
9	The Collection 1948-52 (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Capitol EMI in England has assembled a well-remastered selection of John Lee Hooker's Detroit material, issued on Modern, Vee-Jay, and other small labels. While this material has been released countless times over the decades, this selection is not only representative of the tough percussive attack in Hooker's early music, but also of the early ... see all copies from $7.11! new only from $7.11!
10	Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This interesting release re-creates the look and contents of the 1964 Kent Records LP called Original Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker right down to the original sleeve art, and ups the ante by including a previously unreleased version of "Let Your Daddy Ride" as well as six other additional bonus tracks. Most of these cuts were recorded with Bernie ... see all copies from $12.67! new only from $12.67!
11 view cover	Burning Hell [Our World] (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker In April 1959, John Lee Hooker recorded a couple of solo acoustic albums for Riverside that were his first efforts geared toward the folk/acoustic blues audience, rather than the commercial R&B one. One of these albums (The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker) was issued at the time; the other, Burning Hell, wasn't issued until 1964, and then only in ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $4.39!
12 view cover	Blue on Blues (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker & Lightnin' Hopkins In the liner notes, Bill Dahl points out that in many ways, John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins were anachronisms. The acoustic country blues that they had grown up with was old hat by the late '40s. Still, both players built a repetition on idiosyncratic styles that had more in common with the old Delta than Muddy Waters. The half-dozen solo ... see all copies from $3.13!
13 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 $8.26! new only from $8.26!
14 view cover	The Complete, Vol. 1 - Detroit 1948-1949 (2003) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Body & Soul has undertaken the huge task of issuing all of John Lee Hooker's recorded work in chronological order, beginning with this double-disc set, which includes Hooker's earliest Detroit recordings, kicking off with "Rocks," tracked on June 12, 1948, in a little studio behind Elmer Barbee's record shop on Lafayette Street. Most of the sides ... see all copies from $27.41! new only from $27.41!
15 view cover	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!
