John Lee Hooker, The Healer, 1989
In in the Mood appears on too many albums to keep track of them all, but the first time was in 1989 when Bonnie Raitt and John Lee Hooker recorded it for The Healer. It's one her best five duets.There are several versions on YouTube, for example this one. Amazon doesn't sell the 1989 version singly as an MP3. If that's what you're looking for, iTunes sells the same track from Hooker's Best of Friends.
