Our Take

Step aside, mere mortals, for the Anthology of John Lee Hooker has arrived to grace our eardrums with its divine presence. This compilation is a musical journey through the legendary bluesman's career, featuring some of his most iconic tunes that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.

From the gritty growl of "Boom Boom" to the hauntingly beautiful "I'm in the Mood," Hooker's raw and soulful vocals take centre stage, backed by his mesmerising guitar playing that will transport you to a smoky juke joint in the heart of Mississippi.

But what truly sets this collection apart is the sheer range of emotions it evokes. One moment, you'll find yourself bopping along to the infectious rhythm of "Crawlin' King Snake," and the next, you'll be struck by the poignant vulnerability of "Blues Before Sunrise."

Anthology is more than just a compilation of songs – it's a testament to the enduring power of blues music and the genius of John Lee Hooker. So, sit back, crank up the volume, and let his soul-stirring melodies wash over you like a warm embrace from an old friend. Trust me, you won't regret it.
