bluesman

whose stark,

one-chord boogies

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."
