Note: This is not a 'complete' discography, but an 'in-progress' one. Perhaps it therefore isn't strictly a 'discography', but armed with this knowledge, I hope we can learn to live together. In general, I am adding entries to the tune of one or more per week, so my estimate is that it should be 'complete' by the turn of the millenium (i.e. the one after the next one - there are a lot of Hooker CD's out there!). I feel that the information that's there already is quite useful in its own right - it's certainly been useful to me! |
