John Lee Hooker- THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION- CD- 2000- Union Square Music/Metro Production- 698458100528- 400 grn
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. Union Square Music's 24-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 Chillun," 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"). What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust-worthy label. Union Square Music's THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION provides one such example, complete with professional packaging, informative liner notes, superlative sound, and most importantly, the best-known songs from Hooker's massive catalog spanning six decades. From solo material recorded in Detroit in the '40s for the Modern label, through his mostly electric recordings on Chess, Vee Jay, Impulse, and ABC-BluesWay up to his final, Grammy Award winning collaborations with Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana, these are the 24 cuts that any John Lee Hooker neophyte should hear. The master of the blues has, for over half a century, transcended trends by offering an inimitable approach to the blues. This DEFINITIVE COLLECTION gathers Hooker classics featuring his innately rhythmic guitar playing, colourful songwriting and unmistakeable vocals. A fitting tribute to one of the greatest blues musicians the world has ever known.
