Hooker will be missed.
He was the true definition of get down and dirty blue's. John will surely be missed,I have several of his albums and treasure them all. . . His style Is the gold standard In
blue's. He sang with such feeling. . . that you could visualize
the lyrics. . . . and where they were coming from. John Lee Hooker deserves a front row seat In the musical history books. Sitting next to Robert Johnson who would be proud to have him there. They are national treasures.


AWESOME!!!
This is like his biography done in a similar style to Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" box set. I had a smattering of John Lee Hooker compilations but this one shames all of them. I like chronological compilations so you can hear the artist "develop". If you love raw blues and you don't have this put it on your Christmas list!!!
P. S. I think that Shout Factory is doing a good job of re-releasing some classic music such as Marshall Tucker Band albums. I bought most of these and have played them to death!!!.


hooker's hooks
the nuances of his playing develope deeper with each listening. some material is repetitive but overall a must for any blues listener or any other music listener. hooker, buddy guy, b. b. king--what a great cache of music we have at our eartips to listen to.


Awesome!
Some titles are repeated throughout the 4 disc set put are clearly an evolution of the artist. This chronology of Hooker recordings is simply awesome! To walk through the progression of songs from early recordings to the present is simply mesmerizing. It is clear why he influenced so many artists, too. You can't go wrong with this set.


Hooker's the man
At times the songs may seem sparse and repetitive but there is so much soul in them I can listen to them over and over again. If you like the blues you gotta get these 4 CDs. A wonderful overview of John Lee Hooker's career. Excellent remastering.
