John Lee Hooker    1917-2001

http://www.veejay.mu/artist-pages/jlh/johneehooker-travelin/travelin-cover.jpg

bluesman whose stark,

one-chord boogie

 were some of the feistiest

and most desolate songs

of the 20th century

(...)

Mr. Hooker's music stayed close

to its Mississippi Delta roots.

Usually playing an electric guitar

with a menacing hint of distortion,

he picked barbed,

syncopated guitar riffs

that went on to become

cornerstones of rock.

Electrified

for tough urban crowds,

they harked back

to the rural South

and to West Africa.

"I don't play

a lot of fancy guitar,"

he once told an interviewer.

"The kind of guitar

I want to play

is mean, mean, mean licks."
