YouTube - John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom 

 

Boom boom boom boom
I'm gonna shoot you right down,
right offa your feet
Take you home with me,
put you in my house
Boom boom boom boom
A-haw haw haw haw
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I love to see you strut,
up and down the floor
When you talking to me,
that baby talk
I like it like that
Whoa, yeah!
Talk that talk, walk that walk

When she walk that walk,
and talk that talk,
and whisper in my ear,
tell me that you love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that,
you knocks me out,
right off of my feet
Hoo hoo hoo
Talk that talk, and walk that walk 

 

John Lee Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was an American blues singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in Coahoma County near Clarksdale, Mississippi. Hooker began his life as the son of a sharecropper, William Hooker, and rose to prominence performing his own unique style of what was originally closest to Delta blues. He developed a 'talking blues' 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.

Perfectly said...........good day to you and don't forget to let me know when or if you return to clayton.........

I love the 20'-30's blues recordings. I have the Robert Johnson box set and it's awesome.

There was a bass player I used to jam with that taught me much about music and the blues - he was my mentor for several years and I'm still working on things he taught me almost 20 years ago

I could knock yer ears off with the more than terrabyte of blues related tunes. Although I consider the 20's and 30's the ROOT, the blues can't die and won't die. I enjoy collaborations of unlikely composition. Now one last tune...

And now a very esoteric blues guitarist, Mick Abrahams, and no, not Tull...
