Product Description

John Lee Hooker, the legendary bluesman, delivers a powerful and soulful experience with "The Healer," released on January 1, 1989. This album is a testament to Hooker's enduring influence and his ability to collaborate with some of the most iconic names in music. Featuring an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Canned Heat, Los Lobos, George Thorogood, and Charlie Musselwhite, "The Healer" is a vibrant blend of blues, blues rock, and soul.

The album opens with the title track, "The Healer," a dynamic collaboration with Carlos Santana and his band, setting the tone for the rest of the record. Bonnie Raitt joins Hooker on "I’m In The Mood," infusing the track with her signature gritty vocals and slide guitar. Robert Cray adds his smooth, soulful touch to "Baby Lee," while Canned Heat brings their raw energy to "Cuttin' Out." Los Lobos lends their unique blend of rock and Latin influences to "Think Twice Before You Go," and George Thorogood's fiery guitar work lights up "Sally Mae."

Charlie Musselwhite's harmonica adds depth to "That's Alright," showcasing Hooker's ability to blend traditional blues with contemporary sounds. The album also features solo tracks from Hooker, such as the laid-back "Rockin' Chair" and the introspective "My Dream," demonstrating his versatility and mastery of the genre. The album closes with "No Substitute," a powerful reminder of Hooker's enduring legacy.

"The Healer" is a celebration of blues music, featuring a mix of upbeat tracks and soulful ballads that highlight John Lee Hooker's unparalleled talent and his ability to collaborate with some of the greatest musicians of his time. With a runtime of 41 minutes, this album is a must-listen for any fan of blues, rock, or soul music.

This is a 2023 Deluxe Edition Limited Edition Remastered Repress released as a 2LP set.

  • New Release Impressive Soundstage

    5 out of 5 stars
    jerike-xfovafo23 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing new release! It's packed with depth and detail, and the soundstage is incredibly lush and spacious. The reverb details really spread out and fill the room. The bass is fantastic, and the vocals are crisp and full of texture. I'm eager to hear what others think about how this stacks up against the original pressing.

  • Vinyl's Bright Future

    5 out of 5 stars
    FoppcadDabes22 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This isn't just any record - it sounds absolutely incredible, and as I've seen some folks mention on YouTube, the production quality is right up there with those big-name labels (UHQR, MoFI, etc). If vinyl can sound this fantastic at such a reasonable price, the future of vinyl records is looking even more promising. Does anyone happen to know how many of these are going to be pressed?

    Amazing Audio and flawless Record!! An incredible album... Blues music legacy!!

  • Must-Have Reissue Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Zuco651 July 2025United States🇺🇸

    Don't wait or you'll regret it, just like Chad Kassem advises. This version's crafted from the metal parts of the Classic records edition mastered by BG, and it sure sounds like it. I haven't got anything else to match it up with, but it's fantastic for a reissue at this cost.

  • Incredible Sound Quality

    Incredible! This hard-to-find edition sounds amazing, crisp and full of energy!
