This set is a sample of the reason why I listen to RP:

John Lee Hooker - Crawlin' Kingsnake
J.J. Cale - After Midnight
Subdudes - Late At Night
The Smithereens - Blood And Roses
Do you need some other definition of "eclectic"???
 
That is indeed an egg-zelent set.

Check out cousin Earl Hooker's blues, you'd never guess the two were related. Earl Hooker played like the devil (way before Hendrix), before dying prematurely from tuberculosis in 1970. What a massive loss of talent. Go watch a blistering performance here:

Thanks, that's superb. No histrionics, no over the top hair, no posing, just blistering guitar.

God-Damn!  Have to wonder what this would have sounded like on first listen in 1948!{#Notworthy}

I never could listen to JLH for a long stretch, but I just love the occasional track.  On no other radio station would this make it into the mix! Thanks Bill and Becca!
