1989 Comeback Album Reissued on 180g Vinyl LP!
Audio Cut by Bernie Grundman & Pressed at QRP!
Featuring Grammy Winner "I'm in the Mood' with Bonnie Raitt!

TAS Rated 5/5 Music, 5/5 Sonics in the January 2023 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

The Healer is a critically acclaimed album from the "King of the Boogie," John Lee Hooker. First released in 1989, the collection features collaborations with artists including Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, Canned Heat, Los Lobos and George Thorogood. Hooker was 73 years of age when The Healer came out and earned his first - of many future - GRAMMY accolades, winning Best Traditional Blues Performance for "I'm in the Mood."

Producer-guitarist Roy Rogers of the Delta Rhythm Kings faithfully captures the intimate banter and live-in-the-barroom, Fender-tube-amp quality of authentic blues. But the spirit that animates this album is the ageless voice of John Lee Hooker and his boogie-man blues. He has conjured up a renewed world blues with the canniness of the hoodoo healers and root doctors who first gave birth to the Delta blues.
-Janie Matthews, Rolling Stone
As an innovator of the boogie-guitar style, Hooker had a unique way of flailing the strings while moaning his vocals. His music never grows old.
-Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, January 2023, Music 5/5, Sonics 5/5
