i can see 5 watt world and edward phillips on your video style. really enjoyable video. the thing i love about learning the blues is that you pretty much also learn about history of the social and economic states of the time, and how music was in turn the outcome of living the times. john lee hooker is the original master of the groove and boogie, and hell of a tough voice
Thank you for breathing the retelling story over this Legendary Blues 🌟 💙. His Swagger isn’t dead yet, he’s a definite inspiration of mine. More of the youth like us need to re-tell the classics 😂. I sincerely appreciate this, especially after singing a man’s tune, and naturally loving my late grandfathers taste in the blues. So much bluesy love to you and your video🙏🏻🙌🏻🌍💙💯💪🏼
I'm excited to get so many names of blues guitarists to check out! New Orleans put so much rhythm in all its musicians, especially the clave style beat heard in "Bo Diddley". The Hill Country players took that sound to different places and nobody has more extreme rhythmic intensity that John Lee Hooker and Fred McDowell (there are several others, of course). You're reading stuff I've never found yet but I'm gonna be on the lookout. I have "Boogie Man" for starters. It says stepfather William Moore was familiar with Charley Patton, Blind Blake, and Willie Brown, who'd stop by their place and play blues. I have so much confusion over bluesman/bluesmen William Moore. There is a William Moore who recorded Old Country Rock but I think he was an East Coast player, mentioning the Rappahanock River in the classic tune. And if John Lee was in Memphis 1931-32, he'd probably have known Robert Johnson, whose best family life was there and where he often stayed and loved hanging out and playing on Beale Street and Handy Park (last visit was June 1938). Or later for sure when he knew Robert Jr and Robert Nighthawk (Robert Lee McCollum) as both were contemporaries and known partners of Robert. Robert's younger stepsister, Annye Anderson, even interviewed John Lee about what he knew concerning Robert, as well as the music business and how you get paid.

Hey did you play all the background music? It was great and very much in the JLH style, yet original.
I sure did! Thank you!
