John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker was an American blues singer and guitarist noted for a raw, rhythmic approach to the blues and a deep, conversational vocal delivery. Rooted in Delta blues traditions but often performed on electric guitar, his style used repetitive guitar vamps, a flexible sense of tempo, and a hypnotic boogie feel. Hooker is widely cited as an influential figure for later blues and rock musicians.
