Epic track. I'm also a huge fan of the duet of I'm in the Mood he does with Bonnie Raitt. John Lee Hooker was a national treasure. I hate that I never got to see him live. I had tickets once, but his health was already in decline and the concert had to be cancelled.

Man was bad.
Bad like Jessie James.

I've got it on one of Santana's CDs. Excellent song! I think it is on "The Essential Santana."

I always question myself as to why I didn’t make more of an effort to get out and see more of the great Blues artists while they were still alive, but I did see John Lee Hooker, and I congratulate myself for that. Cool personified.

I like that a lot! I'd never heard it before.

I saw that on that record, he collaborates with a lot of greats! Putting it on my buy list.

I saw John Lee Hooker at a blues festival in the 80s and he was on a bill with the Robert Cray Band, Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, and Carlos Santana made an appearance. But the 2nd time I saw him was on a single song, he strolled onstage while the Fabulous Thunderbirds were playing towards the end of their set. Jimmie Vaughn ended the song when he saw Hooker, and they huddled together and came up with a song to play. He was dressed to the nines, hat and all. He was greeted like he was President of the United States.

And I am sure it was epic. Stevie idolized him, and I imagine Jimmie did as well.

That was decent. I always have liked Santana. The air got a little let out when I learned most of his hits were covers. It just seemed Black Magic Woman and Oye como va were his originals to me.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Santana does some great collaborations. Another great one is his song with Clapton, The Calling.
