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 $13.34! new only from $13.34!
2	Boom Boom (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker won many new listeners with his 1989 star-studded comeback album, The Healer, and his 1992 studio album, Boom Boom, was designed as introduction to his classic songs for this new audience. It wasn't that The Healer or its 1991 follow-up, Mr. Lucky, avoided either Hooker's signature boogie or several of his signature tunes, but they ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $6.24!
3	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 ... see all copies from $24.24! new only from $24.24!
4	The Cream [Bonus Disc] (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $18.69!
5	Last of the Broomdusters (1998) more music like this by Homesick James see all copies from $15.46! new only from $15.46!
6	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!
7	Sooner or Later (1968) more music like this by John Hammond Like several of Hammond's early albums, this 1968 effort would ultimately sound less impressive than it did at the time, simply because the original versions of the ten songs Hammond covered would become much more accessible. The material selected did testify to his good taste, but also stuck to the tried-and-true, including classics like "Dust My ... see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
8	Bluesman: Collector's Edition (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Fuel 's Collector's Edition is simply the repackaging of two albums that bear John Lee Hooker's venerable name. First is Cream, recorded in 1977 and originally released on LP by Tomato. It was a double album -- and is preserved that way in CD format -- featuring "the Hook" with his band the Coast to Coast Blues Band performing at the Keystone. The ... see all copies from $17.69! new only from $17.69!
9	Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this by Various Artists While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ... see all copies from $23.68!
10	The Essential Collection (2001) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
11 view cover	The Cream (1978) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Joined by a full band that includes two other guitarists (John Garcia, Jr. on lead and Ron Thompson on rhythm), John Lee Hooker is passionately rockin' on this live date (recorded at the Keystone in Palo Alto, CA in 1977). Hooker has always been known for taking quite a few liberties with his material, something that could easily throw some ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $7.87!
12 view cover	The Gold Collection [Retro] (2000) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $1.99!
13 view cover	Hot Tracks (1979) more music like this by John Hammond In September of 1979, John Hammond went into Vanguard Records' 23rd Street Studio in New York with the Nighthawks -- Jimmy Thackeray, guitar; Mark Wenner, harmonica; Jan Zukowski, bass; Pete Ragusa, drums -- and cut this record, one of his best (and which might've sold better with maybe some better cover art). The sounds are alternately hot and ... see all copies from $12.90!
14	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 ... see all copies from $12.71!
15 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
16 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $20.68! new only from $20.68!
17 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!
18 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!
19 view cover	Blues from the Motor City (2005) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This collection centers on the prolific John Lee Hooker's recordings for Bernie Besman at United Sound Studios in Detroit between 1948 and 1952 (these were leased to Modern Records in Los Angeles, although Besman did release some of them on his own Sensation Records imprint). There are countless compilations of Hooker material on the market, ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
20 view cover	The Complete, Vol. 5 - Detroit 1952-1953 (2004) more music like this by John Lee Hooker France's great Body & Soul label continues its exposition of the complete John Lee Hooker recordings with this two-CD set of master, alternate, and unreleased takes between the years 1951-1953 while Hooker was still in Detroit playing on Hastings Street. Though the first track here, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?," is from a 1951 Battle session ... see all copies from $35.57! new only from $35.57!
21 view cover	House of the Blues (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Verbatim CD reissue of a 1959 Chess album that collected 1951-1954 efforts by the Hook. Some important titles here: an ominous "Leave My Wife Alone," and the stark "Sugar Mama" and "Ramblin' by Myself," and with Eddie Kirkland on second guitar, "Louise" and "High Priced Woman." Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $34.69! new only from $34.69!
22 view cover	Boom Boom [Shout! Factory Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker won many new listeners with his 1989 star-studded comeback album The Healer, and his 1992 studio album "Boom Boom" was designed as an introduction to his classic songs for this new audience.
