DESCRIPTION
2010 two CD collection. His raspy singing voice brought him legions of admirers all over the world in a career that stretched from 1948 to 2001. Although Grammy award-winning John Lee Hooker was recording right up to his death at the age of 83 in 2001, it is widely acknowledged that his best and most influential work was recorded in the first three decades of his career. This collection features a host of classic cuts from that fertile period (the 1940s, '50s and '60s) and includes not only all his US R&B chart entries but also his two big UK hits, 'Dimples' and 'Boom Boom,' as well as a raft of key album tracks. 40 tracks. Music Club.
