In the three years since his death, various record companies have released a number of John Lee Hooker compilations for the legion of novice fans just discovering the legendary bluesman. However, for Hooker enthusiast, it has been torturous. Finally, there is relief. Come See About me is a collection of live performances spanning the ‘Boogie King’s’ entire career. From a rendition of ‘Maudie’ at the New Port Jazz Festival in 1960 to performances with Santana, Foghat, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, this DVD not only showcases the dynamic performer on stage but also exemplifies his influence. Charlie Musslewhite, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt and daughter Zakiya Hooker offer their valuable insights on the mythological Hooker as well as revealing interviews with the man himself. Comprehensive, enlightening, and just plain fun, Come See About Me is a must have for all blues connoisseurs.
