Originally released in 1992, the album captures Hooker in full creative stride
following his 1989 comeback with The Healer, reinterpreting his most beloved tracks with a cast of modern blues titans. The album is also available on vinyl.

Recorded at Russian Hill Recording in San Francisco and The Record Plant in Sausalito, Boom Boom finds Hooker revisiting classic cuts like “Boom Boom” and “Bottle Up and Go” with fresh intensity and soul. Lending their talents to the sessions are blues powerhouses Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, and Charlie Musselwhite, who bring fire and reverence to Hooker’s gritty grooves. The album received a Grammy® nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album in 1993.

This project reinforces Hooker’s enduring relevance and influence, decades after defining the blues landscape. Boom Boom is not just a tribute to his legacy—it’s a vibrant reaffirmation of it.
