[order57]

You can't beat it.

[yopeac]

This is one of the most powerful and meaningful songs to me.

[SalParadise1947]

What kind of are holes don't like this? What the hell is wrong with THIS? This is pure sex!

[mburtonsr]

Blues for the un-initiated.

[mjwtx]

Not fair to classify other arts as garbage. Be kind.

[monopolymike1]

@mjwtxThat`s it, man. "Be kind whenever possible....It`s always possible".

[Citizen110]

I want a house on the water

[cld458]

Marvelous and talented John Lee Hooker :-) thanks for sharing :-)

[DrailKoekoek]

If you like this, check this one out; Howlin' Wolf - How Many More Years

[MrsLonesome1]

Oh yes... I want to undress slowly...

[FortnerEntertainment]

Hearing beautiful soulful music like this makes me wonder how people could have come to enjoy music from garbage artists like lil wayne, lady gaga, and the modern popular type of artist. its really quite sad and disgusting. have we really become this commercialized-minded and forgotten what quality is, or am i just having a bad dream?

[injektileur]

@FortnerEntertainment

if it can make you feel better, I think garbage artists always existed. The great point about them is that time helps forgetting them (^^")

the people you mentioned won't make it far through decades, I'm pretty positive about that.

[pezelbuda]

@injektileur no sir. those people r gonna be remembered as the garbage of our society nowadayss

[319Genesis]

@FortnerEntertainment In her defense, before she started to do the crappy so-called music we know, she did absolutely stunning accoustic gigs.

[richrichrichism]

@FortnerEntertainment the curse of getting older is having to deal with the young

[conjob1000]

@FortnerEntertainment people your age colour and class would have hated this when it came out so really nothing changes

[FortnerEntertainment]

@conjob1000 class?



[dfendle1]

[hapzap13]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxdrzombiexx]

10 years ago today, JLH went Upstairs for good.

[13Geffen]

Even if my life depended on it, I couldn't find the courage to click the dislike button

[willwelsh816]

such an awesome groove. sounds like its just him and a drummer.

[manisunset]

Stunning artist. he may gone but through his amazing music he will always be around

[manisunset]

[mo9504]

Amazing, Fuck Rap, this is music, sorry 4 the language

[jerichomyles]

[ValdemarKjaerulf]

@anallydead don´t forget his tie with stars :P

[GKid51892]

makes walking down the street with a smoke in your mouth, the most badass thing ever....

[killa2006]

[BenjaminFranklin99]

Been there, done that. John Lee, you are missed.

[kurtcer]

RAW! just like I like it!

[uboro1]

pure music.

[kasikeluis]

you ass i will get you

[xHiddenInocencex]

Forget all the stuff on the radio. When you listen to the roots of music, like this right here--You wanna bust out of ur room and sing at the top of your lungs even if you suck. Blues represents a persons soul.

[timj41]

if you are confined a wheel chair or otherwise do not have the use of your lower limbs, you are excused from not tapping your foot when you hear this. No disrespect intended to anyone.

[DrinkingRazorBlades]

@timj41 damn, now i feel so bad

[deepwoodskentuckian]

music with class. unlike the new rap

[ednet29mk]

great song

[magnvsmarcvs]

Food for the soul !!!

[ValdemarKjaerulf]

today i just got the john lee hooker box set (so exited) i listened the whole first CD and half of the second, then i found; i´m going upstairs, and man did it blow my mind.

anyway, thanks for sharing this great song with us

[Qu1ckmarch]

@stick935, bit creepy...

[juna2509]

@Qu1ckmarch No thats all it right there

[666thedevilboy]

this is one of the greatest songs ever made, by one of t he greatest artists ever, i need to get my girlfriend into real music like this, really cant take much more rhianna takethat etc etc lifeless manufactured soleless un inspiring bullshit,

[stick935]

@666thedevilboy take your girl to a blues club,up close, so you can see the guitar strings bending, the tear forming in the eye,the groove slowly covering the room, then closing around you,tearing into your soul,wow, this is music,and if your girl lets go , takes it in, shes hooked, blues power, welcome to the club.

[GuitarsAreMagic]

he looks pretty old, going up stairs would be a big enough thing for him to make a song about, just joking blues is the best

[zoeruls]

this is some great stuff blasting through my speakers i tell you what!

[wesrace1]

John Lee Hooker was In The Zone when he cut this!

[OperaOfViolence]

Oh, God, yeahhhhhhhhh!

[GOLDBAND45]

This is among my favourite Vee Jay recordings by JLH.For me his period at VeeJay was his best the music was tight ,rhythmic and had some great drumming by Tom Whithead.He also biult up a fine relationship with Jimmy Reed and Eddie Taylor who did accompany him on a few recordings.Really great music! Today's so called music I will not even bother to comment on.

[mo9504]

right into my soul, this song does right into my soul

[SlothyTwoToes]

If you eight don't think this is damned good music then just shut up, keep it to yourself and go back to your uninspired pop music.

[999qqoopo]

@SlothyTwoToes hey to judge is to compare.. and you cant compare pop to this lmao

[KEVINsoILL]

CHICAGO

[axrhstoss]

I have been sleeping for 4 hours.. Then I wrote an exam... But this song keeps my soul awake!

Greetings from Greece!

[mo9504]

Blues, well, let me see, pain, but blues makes me smile, give me my harp, let the music take me away from the pain, oh yes, Mississippi Delta Blues.

God Bless J.L.H.

[Seabluesounds]

This puts everything on the radio to shame.

[dutyhole1734]

@Seabluesounds the radio sucks anymore !

[NathBonn]

@Seabluesounds

And some, jesus, how did music lose it soul?

[soulfunksounds]

@NathBonn it didn´t!! just keep your eyes open for real music, which you can still find today, but of course not in the radio...

[xxdrzombiexx]

@NathBonn CORPORATE MUSIC.

Capitalism killed it.

[Faridale]

@Seabluesounds i just listened to this on the radio XD

[ChillieBenny]

8 people don't know what music is , to bad for them. I love it

[ccaammiiittoo1]

A consummate bluesman went from humble background to the ultra stuffy Los Altos Hills. What a journey (and certainly one that's such a contradiction given his beginnings.

[TomatoSauce5000]

[crazzzyyyfoooolll]

Jeez. How much heart, soul and grit can you get into just 3 minutes!!? When they look up the word music in the dictionary in 100 years time they will find JLH.

[pretorianguard1]

King of the blues!

[bergerfry]

John Lee Hooker and Buddy Rich took their craft as high as it could go with the tools they had, then went that extra step that only the gifted can take.

[blqkvo]

A bottle of gin and a cigar is all i need right now

[jeffisstoned]
