Originally released in 1998, The Best Of Friends celebrates John Lee Hooker’s late-career collaborations with a who’s-who of esteemed guests including Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Van Morrison and Bonnie Raitt. 25 years later, it remains a vivid portrait of Hooker’s vitality during this period and the unwavering respect of the musicians he influenced. Released here on 2LP vinyl for the first time and reissued on CD, The Best of Friends provides a perfect entry point for Hooker fans looking to explore his output in the 1980’s and 90’s.
