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.

2017 marks what would have been John Lee Hooker's 100th birthday. As part of a larger, year-long centennial celebration for the legendary bluesman, this new collection features some of Hooker's most celebrated recordings, from the prime of his career. Spanning his time on Vee-Jay, Stax, Riverside and Specialty Records, the collection includes such favorites as "Boom Boom," "Boogie Chillun'" and "Big Legs, Tight Skirt." New liner notes by music journalist Bill Dahl round out the package.
