| | John Lee Hooker Definitive Collection CD John Lee Hooker Discography of CDs
John Lee Hooker's sprawling, six-decade-long discography is impossible to boil down to a single-disc best-of, though that hasn't stopped dozens of record companies from trying. Hip-O's 20-track THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION is as well-selected and comprehensive a set as one is likely to find, however, drawing as it does from Hooker's entire career and choosing the best of his recordings from his endless succession of label associations.
The disc kicks off with one of the Hook's anthems, "Boogie Chillen," a raw, solo electric stomp from his earliest days at Modern Records, and one of the finest blues performances ever put to tape. Hooker went on to adopt powerful electric bands for his tenures with Chess, Impulse, Vee Jay, and other labels, and that sound is well represented here (see the classic "Boom Boom" or "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"). The artist's late-period collaborations with the likes of Carlos Santana and Bonnie Raitt are also included, rounding out this excellent if cursory overview of the blues icon.
A fitting tribute to one of the greatest blues musicians the world has ever seen. Features a hand-picked selection of hislegendary Vee Jay recordings including such timeless classics as 'Boom Boom', 'Boogie Chillun', 'This Is Hip', 'It Serves Me Right To Suffer', 'I Love You Honey' and many more. 2000 release.

SLEEPS WITH ANGELS was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
Judging by the regard with which Neil Young is embraced by contemporary bands, it's clear that this rocker retained his youthful crankiness and experimental verve--willfully oblivious to popular fashions. Like John Mellencamp's DANCE ...

Definitive Collection album
$12.65
But after "Garota," O Samba Pocone begins to slide toward the merely professional. "Sem Terra" goes back to punchy ragga and "Os Exilados" starts strong, but both wind up not leaving much of an impression. "Um Dia Qualquer" fares better with snappy horns and another unexpected rockabilly guitar touch like the one that popped up in "Ze Trinidade." Manu Chao ...

WINNER: Best Live Album – 2004 Just Plain Folks Music AwardsREVIEWS:“Dixie-fried vocalist, songwriter and piano pulverizer supreme, Bob Malone, returns with his first live album, Malone Alone, on Delta Moon Records. Fiery performances and on-mic asides reveal the masterful storyteller and musician at his most entertaining.“ MUSIC CONNECTION“’Malone Alone’ is a pure joy to listen to. Blues humor is also included for no extra charge. A sure fire chart climber!” ROOTS MUSIC REVIEW“This fourth album from the solo performer was recorded during his 2002 tour before a number of grateful audiences. Comedy and Americana play a large part in what Malone does for his listeners. The album provides plenty. Malone reminds us that humor exists everywhere we go, and we need to stay loose in order to survive. A little medicine from this blues & boogie master will definitely lead us to a longer life.“ SOUTHLAND BLUES “Finally, an opportunity for everyone to hear what there is to see about a very talented performer. “Malone Alone” features stripped-down versions of all of the tunes that Malone has played in the past, but the bits of conversation he has with various audience members raises this already great CD up another ...

Presenting tracks dating back to1988, when Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen decided to get hyper-aggressive with his increasingly metal-tinged industrial music, GREATEST FITS is an aptly named collection, since it offers a sampling of the band's fiercest work (up to 2001). Although the classic transitional albums THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY and THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO TASTE, where Jourgensen abandoned his early-'80s dance-pop sound, are underrepresented, there's no shortage of distorted vocals, crushingly heavy guitar riffs, and ...
