This #BluesMonday, take a journey to June of ‘72 when The Hook performed live at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad, CA.

It was great.” Start the week with some true blues. Hit play on LIVE AT SOLEDAD PRISON with the link in bio.

“The influence of... John Lee Hooker is immeasur

“The influence of... John Lee Hooker is immeasurable. In the 1940s, Hooker — the son of a Mississippi sharecropper and Baptist preacher — tweaked different blues styles from Delta blues to North Mississippi hill country blues until he achieved the sound he wanted: a driving, electric guitar laced boogie that was a forerunner of rock ‘n’ roll.” - JamBase Start your #BlackMusicMonth with some tunes from the man that made music what it is today: link in bio.

“Call John Lee Hooker a ‘blues legend’ and you’re not just mouthing a cliche. You’re missing the specificity of what he brought to the form, the unique strand of DNA he sent coursing through the gene pool of countless rockers and blues artists in his wake. Hooker honed the blues into something new – a grinding, hymnal vamp, which he finessed for all it was worth.” - The Guardian
