John Lee Hooker - 1960 - blues personified


Ending up the week on a classic Blues note. John Lee Hooker, probably the most copied, borrowed from, imitated, attributed to and played Blues artist of the 20th century. Tonight one of his many milestone hits, Boom Boom, recorded on October 2, 1961 for Vee-Jay Records.

Somehow, the original just gets better and better with time.
