'John Lee Hooker’s music expressed the ultimate pickup, defying expectations and Aryan stereotypes of deep blues. There was no rhyme to his verse, his unmistakable technique of open tunings and single chord simplicity remained true to the grave, his voice weathered and earthy could have textured and melted toffee into the midst of the Mississippi. Hooker’s life stands as a celebration of raw and gracious talent, his tenacity fuelled with the spirit of self-actualisation..'
