The late John Lee Hooker was an icon of American blues music. Merging a spare, skeletal guitar style and unusual song structures with a propulsive sense of rhythm earned him a reputation as "the King of the Boogie." Hooker's music provided a stylistic bridge between the rural blues of the '30s and the raw, gutbucket electric sounds that emerged in the '50s and '60s. Produced with the participation of Hooker's estate, John Lee Hooker: Come and See About Me features interviews with Hooker, members of his family, and fellow musicians alongside filmed performances from 1960 to 1994. Including collaborations with Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, Foghat, John Hammond, Ry Cooder, and the Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker: Come and See About Me features the songs "Boogie Chillen'," "Boom Boom," "Bottle Up and Go," "Serves Me Right To Suffer," "I'm Bad Like Jesse James," and many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

British boogie rockers Foghat may have split up in the mid-'80s, but when they regrouped in 1994, their live show made it sound as if the band had never gone away, and they were still rocking hard in 1998 when this live video was recorded. Sadly, this show turned out to be one of the last with the band's founding guitar player Lonesome Dave Peverett; his health began to fail him after the end of this tour, and in 2000, he died of cancer. Foghat: Two Centuries of Boogie features the band's original lineup tearing through 12 songs, including "Slow Ride," "Fool for the City," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Rock Your House," and "Leavin' Again." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
