Blues guitarist John Lee Hooker first recorded in 1948 for Modern Records and made the charts the following year with ‘Boogie Chillen’, and had his biggest hit when ‘I’m in the Mood’ went to No.1 on the R&B chart in 1951. Tracking his recorded output is a tricky business, as Hooker, like many other bluesmen, recorded under numerous pseudonyms for a variety of different labels.
