Music that moves

I thought long and maybe too hard on this, but as I'm watching Madonna during halftime I need to get this done. So here it goes...
Looking at the related blogs from class I had to go back to the day when it was radio, vinyl or live. That was the only way, I got my chops listening to John Lee Hooker. His voice and of course the "hook" is unmistakeable. Enjoy..How, how, how YEEEEAA

John Lee Hooker and Canned Heat: Whiskey and Wimmen

 Genre, the "what" that identifies a style of music. Well the "what" here is the blues, but this is a unique style of the blues. John Lee Hooker has a distinctive rhythm that is sometimes emphasized by his foot taping with the beat and changing the syncopation of the song as the mood shifts .  He's voice is so distinct that anybody who has a least seen the "Blues Brothers" makes him recognizable. To define John Lee Hooker as 'Chicago' or 'Memphis' blues is difficult because his sound does not put him in either of these niche. The song itself is all about the blues, with a little help from Canned Heat.
