Hooker,John Lee Very Best Of The King Of Blues Guitar CD

2008 three CD set. Best known for his duets with a star studded cast of friends on his albums the Healer and Mr. Lucky, this new compilation shows why those friends (Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana) worshipped John Lee Hooker as one of the greatest ever bluesman in the first place. Featuring everything from blistering boogies to ballads from the heart, this collection presents classic Hooker recordings from the 1940s to the 1960s. Disc One features blistering boogies and Blues from his early years including the groundbreaking 'Boogie Chillun'. Disc Two traces the way his boogie gained momentum, playing a significant part in the 1960s Rock revolution. Disc Three perfectly illustrates how Hooker straddled the divide between the urban R&B sound and downtown Delta Blues. 45 tracks. Intro.
