8/26/2015

In 1948 Mississippi-born John Lee Hooker recorded his first record. One of his earliest recording  was Hobo Blues - recorded in 1949. Hooker's father was a sharecropper and a preacher who felt that the blues was "devil's music". Hooker was homeschooled with his ten siblings, restricted from hearing anything other than religious music. After his father died Hooker's stepfather introduced him to guitar. When he was 14, Hooker ran away from home - never to be seen by his mother or stepfather again. Throughout the 1930's, he performed at parties and venues while drifting around working various factory jobs. After recording his first demo in 1948 his career took off, and despite that he was illiterate, Hooker was known to be a gifted lyricist.
