2011 two CD collection from the Blues legend. The music of John Lee Hooker is that of a unique innovator and Blues icon. His legacy chronicles, and mirrors, the journey that the Blues travelled in his own lifetime: migrating from the rural Delta to the tough urban environs of Memphis, Detroit, Cincinnati and Chicago before becoming an international musical language. This authoritative collection brings together 50 of John Lee's key works, including numerous original hits cut for the Vee-Jay label between 1955-1964, gritty, Folk-Blues 'live' recordings made at two Newport Folk Festivals in the early 1960s and raw, visceral band performances captured in Palo Alto and Chicago in 1977.
