True to its name, The Best Of Friends highlights John Lee Hooker’s superstar duets, recorded throughout his comeback years of the 1980s and 90s. Proffering 14 choice performances, the record includes contributions from a who’s who of music royalty, including Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Carlos Santana, Ike Turner, Ry Cooder, Ben Harper, Jimmie Vaughan, Los Lobos and many more. The Best Of Friends was widely praised by the critics, with Record Collector saying that Even in his ‘70s (John Lee Hooker) still possessed that trademark brooding magnetism. The album has been out of print for several years, but the timely reissue of this best-selling title will be in tandem with Hooker’s 2017 centennial celebrations. The CD reissue of The Best Of Friends will be released on 24 November.
John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos.
