John Lee Hooker - On The Waterfront (1970)

John Lee Hooker - The Guitarist - The Singer. John Lee Hooker the Bluesman. To a lot of people this means nothing but on the other hand, to a lot more people, this means life. Life then and now, good and bad, mean and ugly. Here is a guy who's been around more than half a century, and yet he preaches a nitty-gritty sermon that's happening today. He takes a song - like " I Cover The Waterfront" and makes you believe it, and the only way to come across this good is to believe it yourself. A believer John Lee Hooker is. He knows what it's all about, and he's been where it's at. Without further rap, I take a break to give you the chance to find out - if you don't already know. ~Joshua Pridgen
