"It's a rare artist whose name becomes synonymous with their style, as does John Lee Hooker's with boogie. Tracing Hooker's output from his 1948 breakthrough single "Boogie Chillen" through hits such as "Dimples" and "Boom Boom", to the Indian Summer of his guest-laden Nineties comeback albums, this 5CD set depicts an artist who knew, early on, that he had tapped into something transcendent, and kept plugging away at it until the world shifted to hear things his way".
