I have that album and love that song....As a matter of fact though it's usally almost impossible for me to a no. 1 favorite anything I will say John Lee Hooker is my all time
favorite blues performer and I listen to a lot of blues. Love BB , Lightnin Hopkins,Taj Mahal,
newer artists like Keb Mo and Shemika Copeland but John Lee to me was the blues walking around like a natural man. I have his autobiography and still miss him. Only Son House comes close to The Hook for me....

That's a terrific post you wrote, Splanky. I just loved reading it and hearing what JLH means to you. Really wonderful.
