John Lee Hooker - HoboBlues

[@marcodona4500]

He comes in with that riff like the boss he was..that is one dude that made life better with his craft

[@onebridge7231]

College buddy introduced him to me in 1997. Still love listening to him. Sound is multi-generational and timeless.

[@journeystarr]

anyone who dislikes this must have no soul or unable to feel every word and note so deep within that it rattles your bones and digs its way into your soul. that is what John Lee Hooker's music does to me

[@tommy1gtr]

I love how they just have him walk on like that in the beginning!!! Such a badass!

[@cliffnelson1174]

One of my all time Favorite Bluesman........your soul is touched by this talent.

[@Wildmanfan]

This is one of the greatest Bluesmen the world has ever had the pleasure to listen to. God I love his music. God bless you JLH. Gone but never forgotten.

[@briana.eachus6848]

I had the privilege of seeing the great man a few times, the first in 1964 at the Twisted Wheel Manchester, UK

[@the_world_is_yours7545]

Seriously, who could dislike this.

[@beatvampire]

+Stuart Salvara a human born without a soul is my only answer to your question

[@shannonwgustaveson8635]

Now this is the blues in its purest form. Can't replicate this smoothness these days. Voice So smooth goes down like a good whiskey

[@TharpaD]

I’ve heard this many times and I always cry. His mama followed him down to that freight train yard. Plus toward the end he seems to slip into a trance- his eyes roll up. God I love the Hook.

[@SimonEdward123]

I cant think of a better reason why youtube is so great. This video is truly amazing and I am just glad that I was able to see it on here. JLH is a legend.

[@michaelschertel54]

My Favorite Piece from J.Lee Hooker. The Hobo Blues. Ehrlich, einfach, authentisch . . . Thx. fürs Hochladen. Mohawk 10/2019

[@olpossum5186]

seein' the blues brothers movie in 80 when i was 5 introduced me to the blues, and glad it did. now i've had a lifelong appreciation for hooker, and taj mahal, and elmore james, and ray charles, and robert johnson, r.l. burnside and so many more. great to see him here lookin' so young

[@SFDPSFDP]

So much humanity in him, what a great artist.

[@Gadgetlava]

And this what i love, no autotune, no filtering, just pure hardcore blues/soul. And no artist in our time period can reproduce the same formula because they are all fake, no heart and appreciation for the art

[@Joaco0213]

Gadgetlava I don't know if we can say that about all the artists of our time. Art changes throughout the years, not because today the rithm or the style are differents it means that they suck. Art doesn't know about styles, but the thing is the soul, and that's all what blues and the past artists had more in common than today.

[@afkaosius]

I have absolutely no idea myself, but thanks! John was born a old man :)

[@francylejeune]

encore un que tu ne connaissais pas et qui s'ajoute à mes goûts musicaux...

[@alvin43102]

[@Puistokemisti]

I hear more Hooker in Jimi than Jimi in Hooker.

[@danehart2783]

Jimi and Hooker were blood . 2nd or 3rd something

[@Jmoorhouse716]

Nah jimi hears him

[@stevennations9262]

[@AlainGuilloux]

*****GREAT*****

[@TheBillyEnz1]

does anyone know what guitar he is using please and thank you very much

[@hacke1928]

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

[@anacovo]

I liked!

[@Farinhir]

Just John, his voice, his guitar, and his foot (you can hear the tapping to the beat). This is the original electric blues.

[@greasyflight6609]

Good Lord

[@Wildmanfan]

I would say for me it's: Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and John Lee Hooker.

[@Wildmanfan]

I would say between 50-57 because this was a performance in the American Folk Blues Festival from 1964-67, so if JLH was born in 1917, it would place him between 54-57.

[@johnnyman9513]

what year was this version and clip from?

[@frankhaymond9832]

The king of the Boogie-woogie

[@mannycastillo7646]

Anyone know the original source for this clip?

[@afkaosius]

how old was he when he did this?

[@bassgulasch255]

he sounds like jimi hendrix or jimi sounds like him :D

[@Murdog83]

Robert Johnson, Lightning Hopkins, Muddy Waters. Those should do the trick.

[@scapegoatiscariot2767]

I can't help but think of all of the oppression that caused the birth of this music to start with.

[@karamisutra]

guitar* :D

[@carpev3938]

Dr. Dree? This is you?
