Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would boogie-woogie anyhow
When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillen'!
John Lee Hooker
No-one can play the boogie like John Lee. No definitive structure, maybe one chord but man he was good.
He was quoted 'I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks'
Amen
