JohnLeeHooker CountryBlues c

Few bluesmen had as indelible a mark on American music as John Lee Hooker.  Born in Mississippi in 1917, Hooker would eventually be dubbed "King of the Boogie" and renowned worldwide for his guitar prowess, impressive baritone, and eclectic mix of Delta blues, country, gospel, and even field hollers.  Now, The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker, his acoustic Riverside Records debut that helped put him on the map, is being revisited to the tune of a deluxe vinyl reissue this summer. With its

King of the Boogie

With a style that synthesized Mississippi Delta blues through the urban Midwest during the mid-20th century and beyond, John Lee Hooker was the blues. And now, to celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday, Craft Recordings is prepping a five-disc box set, to be released next month. King Of The Boogie collects a track for every year since Hooker's presumed birth in 1917.

Craft logo

Concord Bicycle Music has been an aggressive recent player in catalogue music. The indie giant has succeeded with a variety of jazz, soul and rock titles, controlling such labels as Fantasy, Stax and Wind-Up Records; elsewhere, they've brought the Traveling Wilburys discography back into print and signed a bold deal with R.E.M. to distribute their Warner Bros.-era masters, from 1988 to their final bow in 2011. With all this activity, Concord's latest step was inevitable: they announced last

Nick Cave Heard Them Here First

Ace Records has an unusual name on its roster: that of Australian musical iconoclast Nick Cave.  An artist who's lived up to his description as rock's "Prince of Darkness," Cave has nonetheless drawn on a wide array of influences in crafting his own intense, personal and powerful songbook.  Ace has rounded up the original versions of 25 songs recorded over the years by the artist on the collection entitled Nick Cave Heard Them Here First.  This anthology follows the label's similar sets for The
