Gentlemen, H: John Lee Hooker

Song: "Walkin' the Boogie"
From the album Chess Blues Guitar

John Lee Hooker:   Web site   Wiki

DJ comments: I generally like hookers, but this one is a very special one. You may know him from one of the greatest music movies ever made, The Blues Brothers, in which he played his best-known hit, "Boom Boom". He was an obvious choice for the movie, as John Belushi based his character Jake after the boogie-woogie blues man.

Outside of The Blues Brothers, Hooker played with the likes of Van Morison, Carlos Santana and Bonnie Raitt.

I guess you could say this is one hooker who doesn't suck. — BJ
