TerryS May 15, 2013 - 19:25 | This was circa '48 if I'm not mistaken and JLH hasn't budged an inch from that formula in 60 years. Some will say yea, others nay. |
helgigermany Apr 27, 2013 - 11:05 | terrible singing! |
kdarwish Mar 14, 2013 - 01:36 | Bringing on John Lee Hooker's "HEAVY" cool soul is a bit tough (hammer) on Jagger's Wandering Spirit, but as John Lee sings "nobody do the boogie like the boogie-man". That is why this gets a Godlike rating, much thanks. |
Lazarus Mar 02, 2013 - 22:48 | Everybody in my church loves this song... |
skyguy Feb 08, 2013 - 15:47 | Ben Harper,Iggy Pop,JLH- All bow to the segue master! |
aspicer Jan 30, 2013 - 15:02 | Just so flippin' good for the soul! Bring it! |
Jazbo Jan 10, 2013 - 08:42 | I just hear pure blues rock'n the roll......10 |
megaboogieman Nov 21, 2012 - 11:09 | I am a boogieman myself even MEGA. Great boogie! |
jjak Oct 28, 2012 - 13:32 | Rhoooo....Merci beaucoup pour ce Blues, Bill ! À ma grande honte, je ne connaissais pas ce titre . |

I'm not saying Hooker isn't great, but is it possible that some voters on RP rate artists like Hooker highly so that others will take their musical tastes more seriously when looking at their ratings list? Ratings posers, you're on notice. There's no shame in being honest. Everybody already knows how much you like Spandau Ballet and how little you like The Decembrists. |

Or one could say "I've grown old AND this is paradise!" One of the joys for getting older for me has been getting to understand better just how incredibly fantastic is the universe and the life that springs from it. |
ThePoose May 16, 2012 - 07:11 | They used to write ''Clapton is God'' on walls in the UK. Maybe Eric and JLH could job-share up there. cattgirl813 wrote: I don't believe in God, but I know that if there was one, it would be John Lee Hooker. |

Saw him at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester (England) on his first UK tour in the sixties - blew me away - unique and unforgettable. His peers owe a great deal to Chris Barber et al for resurrecting their careers and bringing the true R&B to prominence again. |

haljordan Mar 21, 2012 - 11:37 | Like the man said, "Let that boy boogie. It's gotta come out." |
