Overview

Mr. Lucky is one of the landmark late-career albums by blues legend John Lee Hooker, first released in 1991 and later reissued under the Concord Music Group. Building on the Grammy-winning success of The Healer (1989), the album once again brings together Hooker with an all-star cast of collaborators from across the blues, rock, and soul spectrum.

With his unmistakable voice and hypnotic guitar grooves, Hooker is joined by Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, Keith Richards, Ry Cooder, Johnny Winter (featuring Albert Collins), Robert Cray, Booker T. Jones, John Hammond, and Jonnie Johnson, among others. The result is a vibrant blend of traditional blues roots and contemporary arrangements that bridges generations of listeners.
