Lightin' Hopkins is the man.
"she may be old, she may have years....but, she ain't too old to shift them gears".
LH, Albert King and John Lee Hooker are my faves. Elmore James, too.

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.
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.
props Sam.
