John Lee Hooker

She's Long Tall, She's Tall, she Weeps Like A Willow Tree
The Country Blues Of John Lee Hooker 1959 via Fantasy
a note about this track

John Lee Hooker's Career Is An Exact Replica Of The Story Of The Blues Itself. Born In The Delta, He Moved To The City And Enjoyed A Golden Age Of Success In The Post-War Years.When Popularity Began To Wane In America, John Lee Was Taken Up By British Musicians. As A Young Man Gospel Was His Calling Singing With The Fairfield Four; Playing On The Streets Took Him To Detroit In 1943, Playing A One Chord Boogie That Captures A Dark, Edgy Urban Feel That Built Up His Reputation As A Unique Stylist Of Crossover Country/Urban Blues. John Lee Hooker Was Still Gigging Until The Day Before Passed In 2001
