Tupelo by John Lee Hooker

Great Blues Man, Great Blues Music. "John Lee Hooker was an influential American post-war blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter born in Coahoma County near Clarksdale, Mississippi. From a musical family, he was a cousin of Earl Hooker. John was also influenced by his stepfather, a local blues guitarist, who learned in Shreveport, Louisiana to play a droning, one-chord blues that was strikingly different from the Delta blues of the time. John developed a half-spoken style that was his trademark. Though, similar to the early Delta blues, his music was rhythmically free. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962)"

John Lee Hooker was fortunate, he made to the top. Other bluesmen were not as lucky.

Search "Mississippi Delta blues John Willie Windham in San Francisco". Windham was robbed and killed in West Oakland on June 27 2007. His cousin Gina died the very next day from deep distress when she learned about John's death. Her great bluesy voice is on the videos. Both were great people. I've posted 5 videos so you can remember John W Windham.
