Yes, the moon a-risin'
And the sun is sinkin' low
I can't find my baby
Wonder why did the woman go?
You can talk about my baby
Say a-just what you please
She's my baby
Lord and I don't care what she do
She will be my baby until her dyin' day
Yes, I love that woman
And I just can't help myself
She the only woman, people
Yes, I ever loved
Yes, Lord have mercy
Yes, she know I love her
The way she treat me
Lord have mercy, way she do
Yes, I love you, baby
Don't care what you do

Always LOVE hearing this floor-stomping, hip-shakin' thang! A sonic boogie match made in Heaven, for sure!
CH is better with JLH. JLH soundsbetyer with/without CH.

The Top fellas would be the first to tell you "Yes", they took lots of notes.

In the process of getting this CD.  This track is a belter. Hope the rest are as good!
Another great tune from the blues brothers

Cough cough cough, hawk hawk hawk, splat. Repeat

Always in the mood for JLH jamming   A solid 10.
Uh how, how, how, how...
Love those blues. "Let's Make It (with Canned Heat)" sounds like Hooker's making a musical meal over a Sterno. 

Dig in!

I have the double vinyl, this is in it, and it's gots ta come out (again)! I saw JLH at the Grant Street Dance Hall in Lafayette Louisiana. He and his brim and his shades walked out slowly and he was introduced as boogie royalty. He sat down and commenced to burn the mutha down. Danced all night in that storied hall with a long neck in one hand and a lovely Cajun lady spinning in the other. Ah... memories of passin' a good time in my younger days.
 
One of my biggest regrets about concerts is that JLH played in Anchorage in 2000, about a year before he died and I didn't get to go to it.  I thought hard about it, but I was just out of college and getting married and had a lot going on.  We did get to see BB King in New Hampshire in 2002, and I was thankful for that opportunity.
Wow!
Let's not, John Lee .

This was & is what The Blues is all about. JLH was and always will be one of the seminal voices about the essentials: Whiskey & Women.

Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of churches loves this song...
 
Used to try to blow the walls out of the barracks with this LP. Sensational!
I am so glad to have been alive in a time-frame that encompasses such great innovators of style and groove! John Lee Hooker has influenced and inspired countless greats, and one of them, Big Head Todd, is bringing some of that back around to his homies December 15th at The Fox Theater in Boulder; can't wait!
Dang.
These blues make me want to go and stand outside in the 110F. w/ 75 degree dew point and drip sweat.
1964 at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, England - where I finally "got"  what R&B and the Blues were all about and what and why the Brit groups of the time were worshipping ( and introducing all of us young sponges) to the fantastic music of JLH, MW, HW, BBK et al.  Thanks John - always my favourite - RIP man.

Very cool story. My brush with JLH was in the late 80s in a bar in Palo Alto, CA where they used to have live music. I believe the band was called the King Bees, and he'd come to see them. He was just sitting in a booth with a few other folks, no fanfare.
 
My John Lee Hooker story happened years ago in Detroit.  I was sixteen years old.  I'd heard that John was playing at a very small club called the Chessmate.  I was too young to legally get in, but I begged the guy at the door.  I told him I'd walked several miles just to get to the club, which was true.  I had very little money.  He took pity on me and said I could go in for a little while but they wouldn't sell me any liquor.  That was fine with me.  I just wanted to hear and see John Lee.  

They put me in a seat away from everyone else, very close to the band.  After a short wait, the band entered, with John Lee last.  He sat down, got himself comfortable and began tuning his guitar.  He looked at me and said in that gruff voice, "How you doin' kid?".  The band then proceeded to crank out the blues.  Great evening for me.   
Two words...  Hell. Yeah!

One of my friends, now deceased, was a, uh, 'medicine-man' back in the day. Once he went to a downtown hotel to make a delivery, and walked in on John Lee Hooker. In bed, with two barely-legal blondes. Mr. Hooker acted as though it was just another afternoon, which, for him, apparently it was.

Why do you think guys learn to play the guitar?  of course to get girls.  John Lee Hooker learned this early.

He sure was a 'horndog', as I believe youse across the Pond say. Every other song of his seems to be about sex, suitably sanitised with slang (jellyroll, boogie, etc). Maybe all the one-night stands he got generated his "Ah woke up this morning" blues ;)
