"John Lee Hooker was one of the most original blues singers/musicians in history. He had a unique style all his own that left a huge impact on American Music. And as a human being he was kind, compassionate, loving and generous. The world is a better place because of John Lee Hooker." - Charlie Musselwhite

“[LEGACY] is dedicated to my dad... The legacy my dad left me, and the inspiration he gave me to pick up that guitar and do my thing is what’s on this album. He always did his thing. He never followed the path. He was a trailblazer. Now I’m blazing my trail. I thank my dad for giving me the inspiration and the courage to step out there and do it.” - @zakiyahooker
