This si simply the best cd you can get, when starting a John Lee Hooker collection. it will introduce you to his early 50's rockin' blues sides liek "I'm In The Mood", you will love this and want more, but start here, it's teh most practicle, as far as songs, and price, and sound qaulity go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent compilation of Hooker's biggest hits, and rockinest, May 13, 2004

This cd is exellent and has more tracks the the wimpy 16, that the other reviewer wants you to buy. This cd is perfectly fine as a sampler of Hooker's finest early 50's sides, included ehre are the hits I'm In The mood(with overdubbed vocals), and a few others. this cd has many more tracks then soem other wimpy 16 track compilations out there, it's a great price, and the sound qaulity is fine. Great value, greta deal, great music. This is soem gruff, and great rockin' jumpin' stompin' blues with attitude. Hooker has got to be one of teh most rhythmic blues guitarists, with a gutsy appealing, mean sounding "don't mess wit' me" baritone, smooth as heck!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best JLH Collection, July 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best Of Boom Boom (Audio CD)

Although this contains a good number of classic tunes, if you are looking for a single-CD John Lee Hooker retrospective you are much better off with Rhino's superb sounding, beautifully selected and wonderfully arranged "The Very Best of John Lee Hooker"; there are many CDs of the same name but this one is 16 tracks, begins with Boogie Chillen & ends with Terraplane Blues. Good liners too. The collection at hand, Very Best of Boom Boom, is not that good and is missing some essentials.
