John Lee Hooker- Jealous (40th Anniversary)

Label: BMG

Reissued 10/9/2026, Originally released 1986

Recorded in 1982 (yet unreleased until 1986), Jealous was John Lee Hooker's first album of original material in years, putting him back on a comeback trail that culminated in his GRAMMY Award-winning album, The Healer, three years later. In contrast to the parade of guest stars who graced most of his late-period career albums, Jealous is a down-and-dirty effort from Hooker's seasoned band. Featuring reimagined deep cuts from his early catalog, the album eventually won a W.C. Handy Award and was also nominated for a GRAMMY Award.
