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.

A rich combination of blues talent and spice assembled in West Hollywood in June 1995 at the House of Blues for a spectacular display of collaborations with equally impressive names from the blues scene. John Lee Hooker's own daughter Zakiya opened the event backed by the Duke Robillard Band. Added to the day's event was a prized collection of genial giants in Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Lazy Lester and, of course, the boom boom blues of the legendary John Lee Hooker. Robillard's band offered a prominent backing for most of the guests and sealed the day with Cooder's subliminal workout alongside Hooker for his signature R&amp;B romp, "Boom Boom." The entire WLUP-FM broadcast of this performance, a gathering of genial blues giants and friends of John Lee Hooker, is presented here in professionally remastered sound with background liners and rare archival photos.
