Today we have a real innovator. John Lee Hooker, while considered a true master Mississippi bluesman, also is credited with starting the genre known as "talking blues." It is metrically free and is mostly driven by a heavy rhythm and Hookers great guitar. He is probably most famous for "Boom Boom Boom," and most of you have probably heard that tune at some point. Today I give you an album which is a little different than you might expect, the song featured is "Cuttin' Out" which features Canned Heat, a wonderful psychadelic blues band, that we may hear from again.
Apparently my computer had some issues and the album didn't upload for download, but I will upload it tonight, and I do have a great one for you to download:
John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers
