He did a great alternate version of this song that has a much harder edge to it. Listen to it here on You Tube under, "John Lee Hooker - House Rent Blues.wmv". It is outstanding.
in the dead old street actually yeah i lovin that stuff back when hiphop was good and lyrics real meant something YES YES yawning EAT IN THE KITCHEN one at a time.................
this is a great version, this is a very detailed versoin, i have a version on cassette tape that i bought at a gas station for 5$ it is cool but not a detailed story as this one, Johnny lee is one of the best!!!!!!EVER

George Thorogood made this song much better. I do like hearing the original though.

I love all the versions of this, the one from Endless Boogie is the most bitter- like this song deserves.
Johnny Lee is a legend for all of music.
