"Thats what only blues can do: Let the instruments sing the environment of the song -
The snare drum is playing the windscreen wipers, slide guitar is playing overtaking cars and Hooker's guitar the falling rain.
I can see his view through the windshield just by listening..." RIP John Lee Hooker
I can see that too. Everytime he sings "Can't barely hold my little Ford in the road..." I see in my mind, him driving on a highway, heavy rain falling, with a cigarette on his lips, he tries to drive through it with his Ford Coupè 1941.
