Description:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7aWB6ph5VgOriginal Release Date: 1984. John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 June 21, 2001) was a Grammy Award-winning influential African American singer-songwriter and blues guitarist, born in Coahoma County near Clarksdale, Mississippi. Hooker began his life as the son of a sharecropper, and rose to prominence performing his own unique style of what was originally closest to Delta blues. He developed a half-spoken style that was his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was rhythmically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962). Hooker's life experiences were chronicled by several scholars and often read like a classic case study in the racism of the music industry, although he eventually rose to prominence with memorable songs and influence on a generation of musicians.Hooker's guitar playing is closely aligned with piano boogie-woogie. He would play the walking bass pattern with his thumb, stopping to emphasize the end of a line with a series of trills, done by rapid hammer-ons and pull-offs.BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE LYRICS: recording of 1961 from The Vee Jay Years 1955-1964 (Charly 82333-1754-2) & Vee Jay No. 2205.Blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes Blues before sunrise, with tears standing in my eyes Such a harbored feeling, boys, I do despise I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up my happy home I have to leave, leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling, because you know you done me wrong Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day Well now goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day You can go ahead now little darling, 'cause I want you to have your wayJOHN LEE HOOKER ALBUMS:1.

Apr 30, 2012 - I love the Blues and I'm just 23, it all depends on your taste in music. Of course I grew up with different music, but I can still enjoy this kind of music, what's the problem with that? Besides that I don't listen to most of the music that's on the radio/tv today.

May 13, 2012 - Man, stop saying stuff like that. I love the blues, I really do, but still why people insist that today's music is junk? Have you ever heard about Joe Bonamassa? John Mayer? Just don't go for mainstream music and you will find such good music.

I dont kwon what country are you from, but in most countries I have been (the only excepcion is germany) everything thats on the radio is pure shit, so yeah, I agree with ThrillaInManila069
