    Remembering John Lee Hooker!

    “I come home one Friday,
    Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job
    She said that don't befront me,
    Long as I get my money next Friday
    Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent,
    And out the door I went”

  4. “One of These Days” from John Lee Hooker’s 1960 album That’s My Story. The Delta blues icon recorded this LP in just one day with two members of Cannonball Adderley’s band, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes. Three men, one session. Done. #johnleehooker #deltablues #vinyl

  5. "Boom Boom" is a song written by American blues singer and guitarist #JohnLeeHooker and first recorded in 1961. Although it became a #bluesStandard, music critic #CharlesShaarMurray calls it "the greatest #pop song he ever wrote". "Boom Boom" was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 and a UK top-twenty hit in 1992. The song is one of Hooker's most identifiable and enduring songs.

  7. JOHN LEE HOOKER
    It Serve You Right To Suffer
    2025 Worldwide reissue

    An incredible Acoustic Sounds Series reissue of what very well may be might favorite blues album of all time.

    I bought this about 6 months ago when I realized that my original U.S. pressing had had its last spin.
    Couldn’t be more pleased to have such a stunning sounding replacement for it.

    “Country Boy” is the greatest late-night blues tune in history; perfect for when you’re exhausted, waiting for the last few minutes of the day to tick away.

    “Sometime in travellin'
    I travel when nights are blue
    Sometime my night
    My night so dark and blue
    But I keep on travellin'
    No place to lay my worried head”

    Man is that ever right.

    JLH til the end of time.

  8. Bon, la machine à remonter le temps, vous en êtes où les scientifiques ?

    Incroyable programmation de l'Ellis Auditorium de Memphis, le 6/8/1965, avec en vedette #HoulinWolf.
    L'homme du boogie #JohnLeeHooker arrivait en seconde position sur l'affiche au-dessus de son co-labellisé chez Vee-Jay Records, #JimmyReed, et le guitariste de soul-blues #LittleMilton. Le positionnement en bas d'affiche de #BigJoeTurner et de #TBoneWalker montre bien qu'ils n'avaient pas encore produit de hits. #blues

  9. JOHN LEE HOOKER
    Burning Hell
    2024 Worldwide reissue

    NOW we’re cooking with gas, baby!

    JLH is the absolute fucking man. I have more albums by him than I do ANY other #blues artist, and I could listen to his shit ANY TIME, ANY DAY.

    This reissue sounds ASTOUNDING; part of Craft Records’ killer Bluesville / Acoustic Sounds Series.

    It literally sounds like John is in my study playing live.

    This is my SECOND favorite JLH album behind It Serve You Right To Suffer, and I desperately needed a clean copy of this, as my original copy was getting pretty worn down and rough.
    Couldn’t be more pleased to have found this.
