Not comprehensive by any stretch of the imagination--there's only 12 tracks, for heaven's sake--this is still a pretty good collection for the casual or beginning John Lee Hooker fan. The remastering job on these tracks is excellent, and the material is topnotch, from the barfly's anthem "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" to the down-deep-in-the-blues "It Serves You Right to Suffer." All of the songs are served up with Hooker's trademark boogie-woogie sound, and it just doesn't get any better than that. --Genevieve Williams
