JOHN LEE HOOKER - THATS MY STORY

Johnny Williams, Texas Slim, Birmingham Sam, even John Lee Booker ... Whatever you want to call him, he had the boogie disease, and it’s in him, and it’s got to get out, and from 1949 to his death in 2001 John lee Hooker did indeed boogie like no one else could. There’s something about the relationship between his foot and his right hand that creates an irresistible urge to dance – and mostly without the aid of bass, drums or even bongos. I remember Rita Ray one night dropping the needle on a Hooker boogie in the middle of a bunch of high energy African rhythms and the dancers didn’t miss a step
