'Ol John's a one man show ain't he? Always loved his music from the first time I heard it in the 60's. " My Dr. wrote me a description milk, cream and alcohol". You gotta love the real thing.
Possibly the best recording I have ever heard of John Lee Hooker. Some blues bands make the mistake of thinking the music is better, the louder it is. Hooker's subtlety here is in my opnion one of the best ways of performing the blues.
John Lee was right ,His music will live on. He could do more with 3 notes than most people can with a dozen. Ferry Lewis was born in the late 1800s and lived for almost 100 years. Joni Mitchell sings Ferry plays down on Beale st. Thanks for that.
Beyond great! Such inventors and innovators. Truly great American talent. Everybody that ever played a guitar wants to have these sounds. It's in our souls. Here's to those of us who will never get out of these blues alive : ) (edited for spelling and also to add that both these guys and I also owe much to Mississippi John Hurt)
el blues de antaño donde habia una coneccion entre los sentimientos mas profundos de su autor, acompañado de una atmosfera casi mistica, blues del bueno
que animal, una verdadera bestia, en el buen sentidon de la palabra, no? el tipo toca con el pulgar y el indice, la guitarra habla, nada de gestos raros como hacen ahora y son puro distorsionador y electronica, simplemente un genio... Muchas gracias

It Serves Me Right To Suffer It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone You see I'm living in the memory Of a day that has passed and gone Everytime i see a woman You know it makes me think about mine Everytime i see a woman You know it makes me think about mine You see I'm living in the memory Of a woman I've left behind It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone It serves me right to suffer It serves me right to be alone Now I'm living in the memory Of a woman that has passed and gone

American Heritage Music Preservation, Voice of Memphis Music, American Heritage Studio's Serves me right to suffer JOHN Lee has a very unique tone to his voice on this enjoy as for Furry I grew up in Memphis during which time Furry was part of our lcal scene and between several of us we sat with FURRY listened learned and had him mentor our guitar and knowledge he spoke YOU had to learn and listen he was not teaching but sharing and you could take away as much as you put yourself into the experience the biggest problem was ll the Major Artist that RIPPED FURRY OFF from JONI MITCHELL to the ROLLING STONES
Love the music just wish they would tune their guitar. And please no one comment that in this era they didn't have digital tuners. No shit. But a tuning fork is all that is required!

Thus, while viewers will gather a good deal of information about this musical tradition, they will also come away with a broader understanding of the society and conditions that gave rise to it." ~ Nora Groce, American Anthropologist John Lee Hooker and Furry Lewis, filmed in black-and-white sometime in the early '60s, is a little uneven in its balance, in that Hooker only gets about 16 minutes while Lewis gets the balance of the program. On the other hand, Lewis is so extroverted and his approach so visually fluid that no one should complain -- this is a chance to see a real guitar virtuoso at work. If anyone ever wondered why Lewis was so well liked and respected, they'll find the answer here -- his fingers move so fast over the fretboard that they seem to dance, quickly and gracefully. His songs include "Kassie Jones" (or "Casey Jones"), arguably the greatest song he ever performed, in a spellbinding rendition, but his versions of "East St. Louis Blues" and "Kansas City" are also here. Hooker's best known song, "Boom Boom," is present, and he's interesting to watch and hear, though he plays with far less dexterity than Lewis. The film is all in black-and-white with some minor flaws in the elements but good sound -- there is no introduction and no attribution of sources. www.allmusic.com/album/masters-of-the-country-blues-mw0000178355
