John Lee Hooker - Chill Out

John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) was an influential American blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. From a musical family, he is a cousin of Earl Hooker.
Though he stuttered slightly in his normal speech, he performed in a half-spoken style that became his trademark. Rhythmically, his music was free, a property common with early acoustic Delta blues musicians. His vocal phrasing was less closely tied to specific bars than most blues singers’. This casual, rambling style had been gradually diminishing with the onset of electric blues bands from Chicago but, even when not playing solo, Hooker retained it in his sound.

One of the greatest blues artists that ever walked the face of this planet, I love to listen to this music, fix myself a drink and just chill. Good old Rhytm and blues, none of that modern pop crap.
This album has some duets, including one with santana. You'll love it!
