John Lee Hooker recorded over 100 albums! I could put him in every category of blues and a category all his own because John Lee Hooker was an original. I’d say John Lee Hooker defined his own style of modern delta blues as he progressed and maybe his own brand of Electric blues too. John Lee’s style was unmistakable – name that tune in 1 bar – anyone of these most blues fans would guess correctly :”Boogie Chillen’”, “Hobo Blues”, “Boom Boom” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. All of these great songs are on the albums above. This album also was listed by Rolling Stone magazine as #375 of the top 500 albums of all time. John Lee Hooker: The Ultimate Collection 1948-1990
