LH, Albert King and John Lee Hooker are my faves. Elmore James, too.

Re: Lightnin' Live
one of my regrets is never seeing John Lee Hooker. not sure i ever had a legit chance, but still. one of my all-time faves.Sudden Sam wrote:I was working the door of a bar years ago when we had John Lee Hooker play. I kept creeping away from my post so I could see the stage. It was positively religious. That old man was mesmerizing. Three young guys backing him, with JLH sittin' on a stool. Unreal. I stood around the corner from where I normally should have been...just stared at the old man all night.King Crimson wrote:Lightin' Hopkins is the man.
