John Lee Hooker - ONLY BLUES MUSIC

[@xxzzyyxxzzyy]

John Lee Hooker songs were the very first live music I heard in my life besides my mother's lullabyes and one trip to the circus. In 1954, I was 5 living in Asheville, NC, and my mother had a black woman named Beulah Huggins working as what used to be called a "maid", cooking and cleaning and taking care of me and my little brother. While working she would sing snatches of songs, which I later found on records, or heard on the Memphis clear channel on my 2-transistor radio under my pillow after bedtime. She'd improvise: "One Bourbon, one Scotch-- one little bitty beer," she'd sing. That was 63 years ago, and now I'm one of those senior bluesmen, filling the same role for kids (and their parents) that Hooker did for me. I ain't getting out of these blues alive either, John, I'm on my way. The more you think through stuff, the more you know The more the burden of your knowledge upon you. The deeper you dive into the sea of your time The deeper the shade of blue. I've had me some bottles, and had me some women The bottles get empty, and the women go away And I've had the blues about the one and the other But that ain't why I'm singing today. I'm rolling through the Big Sky of Billings, Montana, Refineries all around me to my left and my right They say the Indians and the prairie gave way to the settlers But I don't think they're getting it right The Little Big Horn they call Custer's Last Stand The last victory of those who once lived here alone All quiet the guns now, but the memories forever Remain, though the buffalo's gone It might be inspiration, it might be desperation, Might even be depression way down in my soul But whatever you call it, I'm singing these blues With these hands on the wheel as I roll Watermelon Slim

[@hamdelsun68]

I love what you've written here. Singing the blues as I roll....

Magnifique. From french.

As a 53 year old white guy from northern Minnesota, I grew up listening to the old AM Radio and fell in love with the Delta Blues. My whole life I have listened to this fantastic music and have been inspired to play guitar in the same fashion. One of my better nights is when I have a bottle of Bourbon, and having the blues backing tracks and playing along with my old Les Paul just jamming. Yep the blues greats are still with us as long as we keep their music alive. Rock on John!!!!!!!

[@howardmorris1638]

+hammer 1963 I live out in Washington state and just started playing learning to play some slide blues . Just wondering where you get your tracks from. Email at [e-mail]

[@davidanderson5362]

Did you make it out to the Duluth blues fest? I missed it but my wife and I drove out to chicago a few weeks ago and caught the Buddy Guy show at his legends club. It was a blast.

[@kirkjohnwiggle]

Buddy Guy with Eric Clapton at any Crossroads concert, is about the best of R & B guitar today. Rob Cray, John Mayer are trailing just behind, in my humble pie opinion....

No other genre of music resonates with the soul like the blues. This is true music.

There woudn't be rock and roll and rock music without blues..

When I Wake Up and crawl out of bed the Blues makes my ass start moving all day long. Kick up the Rockin Blues and play it loud to shake me till I'm feeling alright.

black people and their music are gift from God...

[@eugenecattouse1860]

The music is a gift, the people are a path. Something untouched and given freely as part of the whole being. I wish I could take it apart and label it but then it. The closest thing to it so far is the title SOUL.

[@trustyaxe]

The Blues came about by a contribution of black and white people, not solely black people. It's not "their" music.

Blues tell you how life really is and you can feel it within your entire body,mind & soul . there's nothing better.

[@elrickstclair2580]

Hey I am a retired 75 yr old man. But don't let that hinder you. I first dot attached to the blues in college hanging out with some white boys. You know they love their blues. From then on I took up the harmonica and the guitar. Incidentally my background is Caribbean ; blues just took over me. Now I am trying to get deep down into it. " people don't seem tp understand this is the greatest form of MUSIC. " The BLUES " I also have to say Mr Johnny Lee Hooker" ROCKS. RickyGWStClair.

Nothing against Joe B but the Blues I love and enjoy are played by men who lived it and I feed on that to fuel my passion cause I lived it as well, maybe not to the extent they did but I lived it in some form.
