Black Friday 2019

John Lee Hooker was an influential American blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born on August 22, 1912 in Tutwiler, Mississippi, he made a lasting impact on the music world until his death on June 21, 2001 in Los Altos, California.
Hooker is best known for his iconic songs such as "Boogie Chillen'" (1948), "Crawling King Snake" (1949), "Dimples" (1956), "Boom Boom" (1962), and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (1966). His talent extended beyond individual hits as many of his albums achieved chart success in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
In recognition of his immense contributions to music, John Lee Hooker was rightfully inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 as a performer. His legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.

Known to music fans around the world as the "King of the Boogie," John Lee Hooker endures as one of the true superstars of the blues genre: the ultimate beholder of cool. His work is widely recognized for its impact on modern music – his simple, yet deeply effective songs transcend borders and languages around the globe.

"Recorded at the Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal, Quebec, on May 5, 1977, Black Night Is Falling finds John Lee Hooker in fine voice and backed by a driving band composed of John Garcia on guitar, Steve Jones on bass, and Larry 'Wild Man' Martin on drums, with the end result being an excellent example of Hooker at his best. Highlights include impressive romps through Hooker's signature tunes, 'Boom Boom,' which simply blazes with raw energy here, and 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,' which is delivered as a wonderfully paced barroom cautionary tale. This is what the live Hooker sounded like with a sympathetic band behind him, a band that luckily wasn't afraid to push him a little." - All Music
