John Lee Hooker – Hobo Blues, By John Siscoe

I have a soft spot in my heart for John Lee Hooker, though I never saw him play. I liked him best when he was young(er). Early Hooker is scarce, and even though we’ve mined the AFB vein enough– he was great here in ’65 performing Hobo Blues. Despite an ocean of booze, he lived to a ripe old age, but I find there’s a real falling off in the later music. Great hands and fingers for a guitar player. Amazing constitution.
