John Lee Hooker was an influential American blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born on August 22, 1912 in Tutwiler, Mississippi, he made a lasting impact on the music world until his death on June 21, 2001 in Los Altos, California.
Hooker is best known for his iconic songs such as "Boogie Chillen'" (1948), "Crawling King Snake" (1949), "Dimples" (1956), "Boom Boom" (1962), and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (1966). His talent extended beyond individual hits as many of his albums achieved chart success in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
In recognition of his immense contributions to music, John Lee Hooker was rightfully inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 as a performer. His legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.

Often called the King of the Boogie, John Lee Hooker's talking blues style, as well as his driving, rhythmic approach to guitar playing, have become an integral part of the idiom. This essential CD features two of Hookers lesser-known albums from his most inspired years: Don't Turn Me from Your Door (later reissued as Detroit Special), and the eponymous and long unavailable John Lee Hooker (aka Blues Before Sunrise).

Both LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this special collectors edition, which also contains 5 bonus tracks from the same period, including three obscure live cuts by Hooker (from the very underrated LP There s Good Rockin Tonight!).
