Possibly the best recording I have ever heard of John Lee Hooker. Some blues bands make the mistake of thinking the music is better, the louder it is. Hooker's subtlety here is in my opnion one of the best ways of performing the blues.
'Ol John's a one man show ain't he? Always loved his music from the first time I heard it in the 60's. " My Dr. wrote me a description milk, cream and alcohol". You gotta love the real thing.
John Lee was right ,His music will live on. He could do more with 3 notes than most people can with a dozen. Ferry Lewis was born in the late 1800s and lived for almost 100 years. Joni Mitchell sings Ferry plays down on Beale st. Thanks for that.
que animal, una verdadera bestia, en el buen sentidon de la palabra, no? el tipo toca con el pulgar y el indice, la guitarra habla, nada de gestos raros como hacen ahora y son puro distorsionador y electronica, simplemente un genio... Muchas gracias
Beyond great! Such inventors and innovators. Truly great American talent. Everybody that ever played a guitar wants to have these sounds. It's in our souls. Here's to those of us who will never get out of these blues alive : ) (edited for spelling and also to add that both these guys and I also owe much to Mississippi John Hurt)
POXAAAAA ESTE VIDEO É UM ESCANDALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, EU AMO, AMO AMO J. LEE HOOKER, LINDO DE VER, MUITA EMOÇÃO É UMA RARIDADE, É E-S-P-E-T-A-C-U-L-A-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
el blues de antaño donde habia una coneccion entre los sentimientos mas profundos de su autor, acompañado de una atmosfera casi mistica, blues del bueno
oh, you too!! thinking you're in the right mood for this. (am so pissed; just found out Jeff Beck is playing just a couple of hours from here; can't go; no $$). hope .. next year?
It Serves Me Right To Suffer It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone You see I'm living in the memory Of a day that has passed and gone Everytime i see a woman You know it makes me think about mine Everytime i see a woman You know it makes me think about mine You see I'm living in the memory Of a woman I've left behind It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone Now I'm living in the memory Of a woman that has passed and gone
American Heritage Music Preservation, Voice of Memphis Music, American Heritage Studio's Serves me right to suffer JOHN Lee has a very unique tone to his voice on this enjoy as for Furry I grew up in Memphis during which time Furry was part of our lcal scene and between several of us we sat with FURRY listened learned and had him mentor our guitar and knowledge he spoke YOU had to learn and listen he was not teaching but sharing and you could take away as much as you put yourself into the experience the biggest problem was ll the Major Artist that RIPPED FURRY OFF from JONI MITCHELL to the ROLLING STONES

Thus, while viewers will gather a good deal of information about this musical tradition, they will also come away with a broader understanding of the society and conditions that gave rise to it." ~ Nora Groce, American Anthropologist John Lee Hooker and Furry Lewis, filmed in black-and-white sometime in the early '60s, is a little uneven in its balance, in that Hooker only gets about 16 minutes while Lewis gets the balance of the program. On the other hand, Lewis is so extroverted and his approach so visually fluid that no one should complain -- this is a chance to see a real guitar virtuoso at work. If anyone ever wondered why Lewis was so well liked and respected, they'll find the answer here -- his fingers move so fast over the fretboard that they seem to dance, quickly and gracefully. His songs include "Kassie Jones" (or "Casey Jones"), arguably the greatest song he ever performed, in a spellbinding rendition, but his versions of "East St. Louis Blues" and "Kansas City" are also here. Hooker's best known song, "Boom Boom," is present, and he's interesting to watch and hear, though he plays with far less dexterity than Lewis. The film is all in black-and-white with some minor flaws in the elements but good sound -- there is no introduction and no attribution of sources. www.allmusic.com/album/masters-of-the-country-blues-mw0000178355
I started digging blues when I was 16, now I am 25 and still loooovvviiinnggg my blues nights
Introduced to the blues at 14 still return ti it at 74 it never leaves you.

Blues is the cry of the humanity,
The voice of the world
It's not what you sing ,it's how you sing IT .Peace.
This is such an underrated documentary. JLH at his finest in my opinion.
Sacred, Precious. Not only the music (raw talent: one man and his guitar) but all that wisdom in between songs!
Enjoy this very much. Thank you. Furry passed in 1981 at 88.
This is a Historical Document, Thank you RochestersEarl! Unplugged before unplugged
the purist, most perfect form of the blues... to understand requires no explanation.
'Ol John's a one man show ain't he? Always loved his music from the first time I heard it in the 60's. " My Dr. wrote me a description milk, cream and alcohol". You gotta love the real thing.
John Lee Hooker can jam. I really enjoy all the close ups of his hands so you can see what he is doing on the guitar.
All can hear those root mems, the real inside deal, living the blues every day, enough said. Thank you!
I learned to play the bass guitar because of the Blues, pure and simple, great upload!!!
Awesome Blues from vintage footage of the Legends John Lee Hooker & Furry Lewis!!
I got to see Hooker at the 1986 Chicago blues Festival in Grant Park. He played on one of the smaller stages - by himself. Amazing!
2 absolute hero's when it comes to playing guitar, 1st time I have seen these video's, great stuff, love the sepia, great songs
I love to hear this man play them blues, now he is the best I have ever heard
Masterful - Educational. Timeless lyrics and Americana music. A collectible.
the timbre of JLH's voice! its so deep! absofuckinglutely mind blowing.
I just, ah man, I'm just, I'm just sittin here shaking my head. Just hits, you know.
John Lee Hooker is as real as it gets...
I got to see Furry in Memphis in 1975, seen John Lee a couple of times also.
Quien no ha escuchado a este negro no ha tocado el cielo!
I got to see John Lee Hooker live in New Orleans in the early 70s.
Just incredible - so beautiful and heartfelt
Que sonido tiene este hombre, que personalidad, pilar indiscutible del Blues!!!
This is great, thank you! I love how they don't even bother tuning and yet still sound amazing.
John Lee was right ,His music will live on. He could do more with 3 notes than most people can with a dozen. Ferry Lewis was born in the late 1800s and lived for almost 100 years. Joni Mitchell sings Ferry plays down on Beale st. Thanks for that.
Some need thousands of notes to express what John Lee Hooker managed with a few, how great he was!

You know it makes me think about mine
You see I'm living in the memory
Of a woman I've left behind
It serves me right to suffer

It serves me right to be alone
Now I'm living in the memory
Of a woman that has passed and gone

Open G always sounds like it's straight from the 1890s or something. Very old sound. furry lewis is great
So this is the kinda stuff Hendrix was inspired by. I can hear a LOT of Hendrix in this.
