John Lee Hooker

Just tell me a story - I'll sit down and listen.

Tupelo - A song about the flooding of Tupelo, Mississippi.

John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was an influential American post-war blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He performed in a half-spoken style that became his trademark. Rhythmically, his music was free, a property common with early acoustic Delta blues musicians.
