September 27, 1967: John Lee Hooker records The Motor City Is Burning, Boom Boom Boom, Cry Before I Go and Want Ad Blues for Bluesway Records in Chicago, Illinois, USA




When John Lee Hooker enters the Chicago studio on 27th September 1967, it had been  been a year since he’d  recorded any session and 2 months prior to this date was the 5 day riot in Detroit causing 43 dead among whom 33 were black people...

John Lee Hooker composed a song about it and sang 3 others in this session, 



One of the best of the decade…

  


On guitar, there was Buddy Guy…









 
WE MISS YOU, 
JOHN LEE HOOKER!
