Following his latecareer resurgence with 1989s The Healer, John Lee Hooker stepped into Russian Hill Recording in San Francisco and The Record Plant in Sausalito to reimagine some of his most iconic songs, including Boom Boom, which lends this album its title. A starstudded lineup of contemporary blues greats joined the sessions, including Charlie Musselwhite, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, and Albert Collins.
