As a 53 year old white guy from northern Minnesota, I grew up listening to the old AM Radio and fell in love with the Delta Blues. My whole life I have listened to this fantastic music and have been inspired to play guitar in the same fashion. One of my better nights is when I have a bottle of Bourbon, and having the blues backing tracks and playing along with my old Les Paul just jamming. Yep the blues greats are still with us as long as we keep their music alive. Rock on John!!!!!!!
+hammer 1963 I live out in Washington state and just started playing learning to play some slide blues . Just wondering where you get your tracks from. Email at howardmorris540@gmail.com
Did you make it out to the Duluth blues fest? I missed it but my wife and I drove out to chicago a few weeks ago and caught the Buddy Guy show at his legends club. It was a blast.
Buddy Guy with Eric Clapton at any Crossroads concert, is about the best of R & B guitar today. Rob Cray, John Mayer are trailing just behind, in my humble pie opinion....
John Lee Hooker songs were the very first live music I heard in my life besides my mother's lullabyes and one trip to the circus. In 1954, I was 5 living in Asheville, NC, and my mother had a black woman named Beulah Huggins working as what used to be called a "maid", cooking and cleaning and taking care of me and my little brother. While working she would sing snatches of songs, which I later found on records, or heard on the Memphis clear channel on my 2-transistor radio under my pillow after bedtime. She'd improvise: "One Bourbon, one Scotch-- one little bitty beer," she'd sing. That was 63 years ago, and now I'm one of those senior bluesmen, filling the same role for kids (and their parents) that Hooker did for me. I ain't getting out of these blues alive either, John, I'm on my way. The more you think through stuff, the more you know The more the burden of your knowledge upon you. The deeper you dive into the sea of your time The deeper the shade of blue. I've had me some bottles, and had me some women The bottles get empty, and the women go away And I've had the blues about the one and the other But that ain't why I'm singing today. I'm rolling through the Big Sky of Billings, Montana, Refineries all around me to my left and my right They say the Indians and the prairie gave way to the settlers But I don't think they're getting it right The Little Big Horn they call Custer's Last Stand The last victory of those who once lived here alone All quiet the guns now, but the memories forever Remain, though the buffalo's gone It might be inspiration, it might be desperation, Might even be depression way down in my soul But whatever you call it, I'm singing these blues With these hands on the wheel as I roll Watermelon Slim
Love it! :D 1. Serve you right to suffer 2. One bourbon, one scotch and one beer 3. I'll never get out of these blues alive 4. I Want You To Roll Me 5. Boom boom 6. I'm in the mood 7. Look what she done to my life 8. Rock steady 9. Boogie Chillin
When I Wake Up and crawl out of bed the Blues makes my ass start moving all day long. Kick up the Rockin Blues and play it loud to shake me till I'm feeling alright.
So much to be proud of listening to this music. One of the predecessors of Muddy Waters, et all. One of the greats! This is why I love the blues. Ee-gads! We're even listening to rock n roll here. So many building blocks!!!
You know what's amazing listening to this? (Of course other than the awesome blues music) Whether directly, or indirectly, you can HEAR the building blocks of what so many other guitarists took from
Almighty Lord, I ask for Your blessings of patience and perseverance for everyone. Help them to remain steadfast in their faith and trust in Your timing.
The music is a gift, the people are a path. Something untouched and given freely as part of the whole being. I wish I could take it apart and label it but then it. The closest thing to it so far is the title SOUL.
Brothers and Sisters, the blues go back a Long time, its a beautiful sound, dont put it down, no one has make up on to sell a record, that is music, BB King, John Lee Hooker, etc. There gone, RIP, my brothers, + Jimmi Hendrix, SRV, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter. GOD Bless You for all the SHOWS!
me lo recomendó mi padre que escucha buena música y que verdad me encanto esta voz negra y el ritmo...esto comparao con musiqueo del que escuchaba antes esto tiene .mucho poderío¡¡¡jeje
realmente sensacional musica de raiz onde o cantor coloca seu sofrimento dentro do seu coração e tras pra fora junto com um grande romantismo ,e vira um conjunto de rimas e sofrimentos fazendo ecoar pelo ar ,seu romantismo e trazendo alivio no dia a dia ,isto chama se blus ,e o negro Americano e seu grande criador nós campos de algodão em épocas de um ser explorado por grandes patrões ,lindo e puro tudo de raizes
Hey I am a retired 75 yr old man. But don't let that hinder you. I first dot attached to the blues in college hanging out with some white boys. You know they love their blues. From then on I took up the harmonica and the guitar. Incidentally my background is Caribbean ; blues just took over me. Now I am trying to get deep down into it. " people don't seem tp understand this is the greatest form of MUSIC. " The BLUES " I also have to say Mr Johnny Lee Hooker" ROCKS. RickyGWStClair.
Nothing against Joe B but the Blues I love and enjoy are played by men who lived it and I feed on that to fuel my passion cause I lived it as well, maybe not to the extent they did but I lived it in some form. Elmore James , Robert Johnson, Bukka White , Muddy Waters are my blues hero's. enough said about that. Good evening gentleman.
hello everyone, I just got myself into blues music. I have always liked the craftsmanship of guitar playing. I love rock music and you definitely hear the influence in rock music with blues. any suggestions of what other types of blues musicians I should listen to?
+David Sanchez muddy waters, robert johnson, howlin wolf, otis rush, sonny boy williamson, albert king, freddy king, lowell fulson, ray charles, big mama thorton, buddy guy, eric clapton, stevie ray vaughan, jimi hendrix, john mayall, johnny winter, luther allison, lead belly, nina simone, otis spann, t bone walker, bb king, james cotton, little walter, willie dixon....there are many other incredible blues musicians, but these are some I remember right now...a lot of good songs and different styles, enjoy!
Your a hell of a Ass Kickin Rockin N Rollin Blues Man With The Blues. Kick up the Rockin Blues and play it loud for me all day n night long. Till it shakes me till I have a hell of a good time close up up with a drink. I know some people don't like loud music but I do and I will never change before I die.
The Real Old Blues don’t call for no jumping. If you go to jumping, that ain’t the Blues. They can name it the Blues, but it ain’t the Blues. The Blues is just by itself. That’s the Blues. When you done got lonesome and worried. Don’t know what to do. Thinking about your loved ones and people that you wanna be nice to you and you been nice to them but they ain’t and you’re deceived by them…. I trusted them with everything I had. I done everything. I turned my heart to them with faith and belief in them, and then they get up and deceive me. Now you don’t know whether to cut their throat or to cry again. That’s the Blues. B-L-U-S-E. You cry and you cry alone. Weep alone. Then you wanna shut up in the room someplace, you don’t want no company too much. You not mad with the other people but you wanna lock your door and get in there where you can cry a good fashion. Hear somebody knocking on your door. You don’t wanna hear them. It’s not you’re mad with them; you don’t want no company right now.You wanna sit down and concentrate in your own mind. You don’t want no bothering, not even with daddy, sister, or mama. Nobody. Oh, I wish they would go away…”
That's the blues, but there is also joy in it, maybe you are depressed, you should seek help, take some medication, depression can really fuck you up to the point you can't even enjoy this beautifull music. And just get away from those people while you can :) Stay well my friend

The more you think through stuff, the more you know
The more the burden of your knowledge upon you.
The deeper you dive into the sea of your time
The deeper the shade of blue.
I've had me some bottles, and had me some women
The bottles get empty, and the women go away
And I've had the blues about the one and the other
But that ain't why I'm singing today.
I'm rolling through the Big Sky of Billings, Montana,
Refineries all around me to my left and my right
They say the Indians and the prairie gave way to the settlers
But I don't think they're getting it right
The Little Big Horn they call Custer's Last Stand
The last victory of those who once lived here alone
All quiet the guns now, but the memories forever
Remain, though the buffalo's gone
It might be inspiration, it might be desperation,
Might even be depression way down in my soul
But whatever you call it, I'm singing these blues
With these hands on the wheel as I roll
Watermelon Slim
I love what you've written here.
Singing the blues as I roll....
Magnifique. From french.
Love it! :D
1. Serve you right to suffer
2. One bourbon, one scotch and one beer
3. I'll never get out of these blues alive
4. I Want You To Roll Me
5. Boom boom
6. I'm in the mood
7. Look what she done to my life
8. Rock steady
9. Boogie Chillin
No other genre of music resonates with the soul like the blues. This is true music.
There woudn't be rock and roll and rock music without blues..
When I Wake Up and crawl out of bed the Blues makes my ass start moving all day long. Kick up the Rockin Blues and play it loud to shake me till I'm feeling alright.
Yes sir

Saw Mr Hooker at the Long Beach Jazz and Blues festival then year before he passed. A moment to cherish.
John Lee Hooker was a great musician, my favorite blues man!
He is the man.

+Colette Davis colette could u recommend me blues artists? ty
OMG! I really enjoyed this. John Lee Hooker forever! Thank you. Liked and shared! 🎸🎙️🕶️🎩
You know what's amazing listening to this? (Of course other than the awesome blues music)
Whether directly, or indirectly, you can HEAR the building blocks of what so many other guitarists took from
***** YOU FULL OF SH*T...
Blues tell you how life really is and you can feel it within your entire body,mind & soul . there's nothing better.
what a chilling voice Mr. Hooker had, love his delivery.
Almighty Lord, I ask for Your blessings of patience and perseverance for everyone. Help them to remain steadfast in their faith and trust in Your timing.
John Lee Hooker: the most creative and best guitar player!!
Been workin on a truck in the garage with mid 20's son in law. He was liking by the end. Buddy Guy next weekend!

This is amazing I deserve to listen to this I deserve to listen to this alone
black people and their music are gift from God...
The music is a gift, the people are a path. Something untouched and given freely as part of the whole being. I wish I could take it apart and label it but then it. The closest thing to it so far is the title SOUL.
The Blues came about by a contribution of black and white people, not solely black people. It's not "their" music.
trustyaxe only black People. Ask Elvis Who learned to sing and dance. ..
exactly
@@trustyaxe shut up nerd
seen him live front row 1986 life has its rewards ; )
Don't know why they call it the blues. Lifts my spirits every time!
John Lee is the Best. I'm 72, luved the Blues from jump street. I like lots of muzik. Ah loves the blues. Really love JLH hard beat!!

I also thank the blues for bringing metal to this planet.
Rap It’s not music, this is music!
Rap is not music, this is music!
YES
I leaned to play harmonica to JLH music. When I was a kid I would lock myself in my room and play along for hours.

The greatest!!!
John Lee Hooker the soul of the blues
it is good to know what your family, was raised on.
Great live classic performance
it's no wonder why Keith Richards , Eric Clapton ..... ;practically idolize this man .
+Richard Kraus Did they give him any money? If they didn't, then they might as well have despised him.
+hwgray Good point - no, great point. Ask the meanest son-of-a-bitch in rock n' roll one Mick Jagger.
Through all their drug use… they were not totally stupid

the blues is kick arse foot stomping music to enjoy with a nice spliff and a friend. it lifts the soul, enjoy
"The blues is just by itself " Six words to describe the blues. Simple yet significantly stated.

always good stuff.
Wicked, wicked good music!
