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 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 $1.99! new only from $8.00!
3	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 $49.55! new only from $49.55!
4	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!
5	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 $9.89! new only from $9.89!
6	Blues Union (1996) more music like this by Joe Beard Although Joe Beard is a country-based bluesman and fellow guitarist Ronnie Earl (who brought along his Broadcasters for this set) is strictly city, they work together quite well. The emphasis is often on Beard's expressive vocals (which sometimes look toward John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins but display their own personality). Beard and Earl ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $21.80!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	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!
11 view cover	Blues Singer (2003) more music like this by Buddy Guy Arriving after the unexpected blast of raw energy that was 2001's Sweet Tea, 2003's Blues Singer could idealistically be seen as the acoustic flip side of that high-voltage, raw electric blues. Like Sweet Tea, Blues Singer is supposed to exist deep down within the Delta blues tradition, only finding Buddy Guy armed with an acoustic guitar and the ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $10.24!
12 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!
13 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!
