If you took the oldest performers from the earliest blues recordings and gave them a modern instrument and a good recording session, that's how John Lee Hooker sounds here. This is the rhythm of chants in the field.
Blues aint no boogie, and aint no rock and roll either. Blues is blues, and that's it. And it can only be played by people like these guys, John Lee Hooker and Ry Cooder. Pure magic.
That's so good, give him a hand. lol That line was right from the heart, that is Cooder playing the blues better than about anyone in the World.

Met John when I was 17 back stage at the old Boston Tea Party. Really warm man, told me I told the truth too much...

John Lee Hooker said "give him a hand" and everyone did- just goes to show, when John Lee Hooker tells you to do something, YOU GOD DAMN DO IT

At least Cooder had the sense and respect not to play "over" JLH - more than can be said for the likes of santana and winters
