John Lee Hooker 1969 PBS

[@Malama_Ki]

In the early 90’s I moved to Philly to play music. I had an old Oldsmobile with a mismatch hood and a greatest hits cassette of John Lee Hooker. Now that I’m older I look back and smile at all the trim I got in that car with John Lee Hooker as the soundtrack. R.I.P. King

[@markhorton1718]

Amazing footage!! Im so grateful for the people who had everything to do with getting it here!!!

[@South3West77]

Amazingly, some involved with P.B.S. setting a solid high standard in music back in the day.

[@nicolaesandi6937]

Așa se cânta în Delta MISISIPY de niște titani ai bluesului din delta !!Și astfel s-au facut compozitii muzicale cu balans si versuri extravagante exuberante expansive și excitante pline de culoare si cu chitare electrice având solo-uri și distors făcând saundul puternic și vibrant !!❤🎉apoi au venit chitariști geniali copiind stilul din delta MISSISIPIY ieșind un roakan-rol psihedelic!!👍✌️

[@flylippfantom8425]

This is how rock n roll started. Clapton, J Page, Hendrix all of them started playing blues like several black musicians from south, Mississippi Delta Thank you blues

[@brianwells4507]

Pete Townshend benefitted from listening to John, too

I can hear some Lightnin' Hopkins influences in his way of playing guitar and singing.

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

Excellent audio quality.... Yes, sir!

[@georgeslater2095]

It's genius how he mainly plays the one chord per song, he alludes to playing different ones in a progression but instead actually maintains the same chord. Sounds so simplistic but shows how intelligent his understanding is of progressions and phrasing, not like his guitar playing is in question at all.

[@marymichael1211]

Thank you for explaining this musically. 🎶

[@zavioburchensonmusicandwriting]

Ye

[@BelfastBoxingNBlues]

Years of struggle.

[@jdub5359]

Yes he’s very modal in his song structure, heavy emphasis on da groove

[@Malama_Ki]

Mississippi Fred McDowell has that same kinda hypnotic drone. I can listen and be entranced for hours.

[@johncamera5747]

I had his greatest hits.He is the the man of the lowdown blues.👍🎼

[@dontgoout1434]

I've built up an enormous following by using aspects of his playing why play two chords when one will do.cal reason

[@jonnehayesjr.9299]

Anybody know whatever became of his son Robert?

No one like Johnny, sounds class.

[@glenpage162]

Thanks for uploading this! I have one JLH cd on my channel, just so you know. I love this. Thank you again.

[@motioninmind6015]

@Thomas Headley I was thrilled to find Hooker and Heat at Spotify. Canned + JLH is all I'm listening at the moment. I play along on my Telecaster, just getting into the groove, eyes closed, foot tapping, fingers wandering... It feels so good, not sure if anyone else would enjoy it though 😇

[@TharpaD]

Johnny fans - check out ‘drugstore women’ and ‘big legs tight skirt’. I’ve listened to each I’d say 36 times. Well, I did get interrupted once, but it only took me a few seconds to kill them. Yes- nothing but the best my friend. Indeed! Don’t forget r. L. Burnside folks if you don’t know him- figures if you love this man, well, you might love another as well. Why not? I don’t know but why- they both tend to ignore traditional 12 bar bar blues. It’s like Johnny just never quite ‘got’ the ‘need’ of a ‘constant’ ‘pattern’. Which is why I find him to be my fave of ‘em - as highlighted by my perky, lively verse. Check out R. L. Burnside ( ‘see my jumper hangin’ out on the line’ maybe my favorite song title of all time - because you indeed know that something may or may not be on his mind. I’m guessing it probably pretty much was. And THIS guy, one of the sexiest men, ever.

He was illiterate to the day he died, but was a genius. I saw a video of his manager helping him write his name on a stack of pick guards and it taught me not to judge someone because they have different talents than you. You don’t judge a great baker for not being a brain surgeon. This man touched souls and enhanced humanity and still does from beyond the grave….. oh yeah, and he couldn’t read or write, so.

Just imagine how many countries in the world wish they had ONE John Lee Hooker to call their native son. America has been…and will always be great because of the blues. You’re welcome, world.

[@anr.de.balzac]

If you research about the history, meaning and catalyst of Blues (as a musical genre, which, as any other musical genre, emerged in a historical context and not in a vacuum), then you will start perceiving Blues not as American merit and pride, but rather quite the opposite: as musical genre (on of many in African-American culture) as a way to sublimate suffering and suppression imposed on these people BY ‘great nation of America’.
