John Lee Hooker's complete discography may never be compiled in one place. Original recordings number over 100 albums but re-releases, compilations, best ofs and unauthorized releases abound. We are always trying to fill in the blanks and watch for new releases but are intentionally not giving publicity to records and labels that are unauthorized and/or do not pay the artist royalties. Below please find just a partial list of recordings.
