John Lee Hooker | Don’s Tunes #Blues Legends #Shorts
Remembering the #Bluesmusic legend John Lee Hooker. Captured here in an excerpt from “It Serves Me Right To Suffer“ in 1969.
My doctor put me on
Milk, cream, and alcohol, alcohol
My doctor wrote me a description
For milk, cream, and alcohol...
As a teenager, he ran away to become a musician. ’’I was young and had a lot of nerve,’’ he said in an interview with David S. Rotenstein. ’’I knew I would get nowhere down in Mississippi and I ran away by night. I thought for sure I was gonna make it.’’
Hooker made his way to Memphis, where he worked as an usher in the segregated W. C. Handy movie theater on Beale Street. He soaked up more blues playing with musicians like Robert Nighthawk before heading farther north. In Cincinnati at the end of the 1930’s, he sang with gospel groups, including the Fairfield Four and the Big Six, and in 1943 he moved to Detroit. There, he worked in steel and automobile factories and played in the blues clubs.
Through five decades of recording and countless collaborators, Hooker maintained the Delta style. ’’I just got smarter and added things on to mine,’’ he once said, ’’but I got the same bottom, the same beat that I’ve always had. I’d never change that, ’cause if I change that, I wouldn’t be John Lee Hooker any more.’’
