1	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections. Treasures abound here: rare tracks from John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins, Hop Wilson's original "Merry Christmas, Darling" (covered by The Fabulous Thunderbirds on An Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas), Louis Jordan's last recording ("Santa Claus, Santa ... see all copies from £8.20! new only from £10.45!
2	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 £8.17! new only from £8.17!
3	Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £10.73! new only from £10.73!
4	Hooker 'n Heat (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat When this two-LP set was initially released in January 1971, Canned Heat was back to its R&B roots, sporting slightly revised personnel. In the spring of the previous year, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) simultaneously accepted invitations to join John Mayall's concurrent incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. This marked the ... see all copies from £11.55! new only from £11.55!
5	The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ... see all copies from £3.30! new only from £4.77!
6	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 £2.73! new only from £10.80!
7	Mr. Lucky (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker His latest for Virgin's blues division, contains some entertaining material. It's not a classic, but it's not half-bad either. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.41! new only from £7.35!
8	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from £15.02! new only from £37.03!
9	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £5.12!
10	It Serves You Right to Suffer (1966) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're ... see all copies from £3.59! new only from £4.55!

12 view cover	The Best of Hooker 'n Heat (1996) more music like this by Canned Heat & John Lee Hooker The ten songs on Best of Hooker 'n Heat were originally released as part of a 1971 album (on Liberty 35002); this reissue, despite the lack of historical liner notes, isn't exactly short of value, clocking in at 56 minutes. Canned Heat gets top billing, but really it's John Lee Hooker's show, as he sings all the tracks and takes all the ... see all copies from £5.81! new only from £8.74!
13 view cover	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos. The guest ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.16!
14 view cover	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from £5.69! new only from £7.07!
15 view cover	Jack O' Diamonds: 1949 Recordings (2004) more music like this by John Lee Hooker The material on Jack o' Diamonds was recorded in 1949 but never released at the time due to John Lee Hooker's vast contractual problems. Even at this earliest point in his career, Hooker was tied up in contracts that would see him recording under several aliases in order to make some quick cash. These 20 cuts were recorded at a private gathering ... see all copies from £8.20! new only from £10.22!
16 view cover	Hooker 'n' Heat (Recorded Live at the Fox Venice Theatre) (1981) more music like this by John Lee Hooker With Canned Heat Second-guessing team-up records like this one is always a fun exercise. Having worked so well together on a 1971 album of the same name, both parties hoped to make lightning strike twice in front of a sweaty crowd, with an upstart indie label capturing it all. There's also an unavoidable poignancy infusing this low-key but energetic night, since ... see all copies from £5.00! new only from £8.72!
17 view cover	Atlantic Blues: Guitar (1986) more music like this by Various Artists Ranging from the country-blues stylings of Blind Willie McTell to modern-day pyrotechnics by Stevie Ray Vaughan, this edition of the Atlantic Blues series spotlights some of the fine blues pickers to grace many a 20th century stage and stereo. These aren't necessarily all classic performances, but most of the music is of the highest quality. The ... see all copies from £6.17! new only from £7.69!
18 view cover	Blind Pig Records: 20th Anniversary Collection (1997) more music like this by Various Artists San Francisco's Blind Pig Records celebrates their 20th anniversary with this two-disc, 36-track collection featuring over two hours' worth of highlights from their many releases with a few unreleased bonus tracks to spice up the mix. Originally started as a sideline to a blues club in Ann Arbor, MI, with an ear toward documenting the local scene ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £11.42!
19 view cover	Jealous [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from £3.34! new only from £3.34!
20 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 £6.05! new only from £6.05!
21 view cover	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from £9.55! new only from £12.03!
22 view cover	Live at Newport (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Live at Newport is an addition to the already huge pile of archival John Lee Hooker releases (one that will surely continue to grow as licenses to Hooker's myriad recordings for different labels exchange hands). What differentiates this release from many of the others is that it focuses on a pair of acoustic performances from the bluesman, a ... see all copies from £10.81! new only from £14.28!
23 view cover	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 £13.98! new only from £22.12!
24 view cover	Chill Out [Shout! Factory] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Chill Out isn't the superstar blow-out of John Lee Hooker's late-'80s albums, yet it retains that flavor. Featuring some extended soloing from Carlos Santana, Chill Out is filled with long blues workouts, all captured in pristine, state-of-the-art technology. Nothing on the disc captures the raw vitality of Hooker's prime material -- it's all ... see all copies from £7.70! new only from £10.04!
25 view cover	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from £10.53! new only from £10.53!
