Note: In most instances, I've tried to make the link go directly to the John Lee Hooker page, but for some reason, occasionally some albums do not show up, even though a store has them.  If you are looking for something in a particular store, I'd always suggest doing a search if you can't find it on the John Lee Hooker page.

Who?-ker Publishing

Note: these links go to various sites.  They would all have you believe they are the last word in publishing.   The varying information I got from them put me off trying to provide songwriting and publishing credits for each John Lee Hooker song.  If you want to try and figure it out, pay a visit to:

ASCAP is The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers

BMI is Broadcast Music, Inc.

MCPS is the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society in the U.K.  Site currently under re-construction.

SESAC....well, I can't figure out WHAT the letters stand for.

Warner Chappell

Yahoo provides more links to other publishing places than you can shake a stick at.
