John Lee Hooker (22 August 1917 – 21 June 2001) was a blues singer and songwriter. Born in Mississippi, he developed an electric guitar version of Delta blues in the 40s, and by the late 50s, he’d developed his own style of boogie that some call a Chicago South Side Shuffle. He was famous for riding roughshod over the 12 bar Blues format and his lyrics feature an almost ad libbed narrative style.

Hooker released well over two dozen studio albums, and there are many compilations and reissues.
