John Lee Hooker - It Serves Me Right to Suffer free for downloading

somehow this takes me back to somewhere I've never been

My favourite blues performance ever.

He may have had an ulcer as well as people drink scotch with milk  in stead of a mixer to help line the stomache JLH is the Blues! 

"While the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness."

Just goes to show, you don't need to be a flashy guitar player. Short meaningful phrases that dig deep into the soul.

In this day and age when almost every musician is striving to create a life's masterpiece with all these intellectual complex pieces of music that usually falls incredibly short, they could learn a thing or two about a simple beat imbued with real emotions and soul!!

If my doctor had written me a description like that, I wouldn't bother with the milk and the cream...

It's that sneaky bass riff that underlies it that gets ya going and then the high grace notes make it sing, along with that world weary expressive voice.

"My Doctor put me on......." When you are born suffering, it's hard to not feel like you deserve to suffer

i wasn't born with the blues. (i was a clingy happy child). The blues was instilled, beaten, and then taken from me. 

Big influence on Jimi, right there

"It serves me right to suffer. It serves me right to be alone", how awesome is that. Paid much respect in Hancock by P.Berg.

even the imperfections are perfect

so much raw emotion is conveyed through this footage. its a real treasure!

Sexy as/ hell....

Looord! The Blues Can touch Any Soul, Timeless Music! Serves Me Right To Be Alone....

One cannot begin to imagine the times when he was growing up

for me this is the epitome of a blues in evry aspect, lyrics music performance voice.
