John Lee Hooker - Anthology (2LP Vinyl Set)

John Lee Hooker represents the Mississippi blues in its purest form. And that is a mighty powerful form of communication. All my songs tell stories people can relate to, he claimed. And the way I play it, they can feel it. As music historian Larry Cohn, elaborated, He shouts, growls and squeezes all that is possible out of every nuance. In addition to all of this, Hooker hums better than most bluesmen can sing. Today, he remains not only a blues icon but a music legend whose name will live on through songs like those featured here a collection that, amazingly, can only scratch the surface of his total recorded legacy.
