Release Notes:

John Lee Hooker was an active recording artist for roughly 50
years -- active in that not only did he record steadily, but he
actively jumped from label to label, recording for seemingly every
label, big or small, from such legendary imprints as Modern,
Savoy, Chess, Vee-Jay, Impulse and Riverside, to such smaller
outfits as Eagle, Sensation, Staff, Guest Star and Pausa. He
started his career cutting sides for singles, later recording
proper albums, and all these recordings have been repackaged and
reissued in a seemingly endless series of compilations, ranging
from budget-line bottom of the barrel discs to first-rate
retrospectives, like Rhino's 1991 The Ultimate Collection, but one
thing his discography has always lacked was a comprehensive,
career-spanning box set, which Shout! Factory's finally provides
with their 2006 four-disc set Hooker. Encompassing 84 songs
recorded for 27 labels over the course of half a century, Hooker
manages to sort through his unwieldy discography with grace and
precision, offering all his standards -- beginning with "Boogie
Chillen" and "Sally Mae," then running through "Crawlin' King
Snake," "I'm in the Mood," "Dimples," "Boom Boom," "It Serves Me
Right to Suffer," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" -- but
adding the depth and detail by lingering at relatively
lesser-known sides and singles (including songs released under
pseudonyms like "Texas Slim" and "John Lee Booker") from every era
of his career. And even though Hooker never quite deviated from
his signature boogie -- he always bent backing bands to follow his
rhythm, as much of the music on this set proves -- he did have
different eras in his career, starting with the spooky solo sides
in the late '40s and early '50s, whi
