About Playlist
A true legend in so many ways, John Lee Hooker was a man with a unique style. Ever since his early days the blues maestro, who died twenty years ago at the age of 83, rocked the Detroit scene with his very own brand of madness, narrating everything he found there: broken love, alcohol and dangerous women... Of a nervous disposition when playing the guitar, he played as though possessed and with a real brutality. No flashy hooks or extravagant solos for John Hooker, just pure no-nonsense blues. Strongly influenced by boogie woogie, John Lee Hooker used his thumb in order to give the bass a bit more punch. This sound has often been imitated, but never equalled.
