Guitarist-singer-songwriter John Lee Hooker was one of the links between the raw, acoustic country blues and the urban, electrified blues--his personal style is marked by hypnotic, cyclic rhythms and doomy, plainspoken singing. He was a major influence on many rock & roll artists (in both England and America) in the 1960s. From a 1965 concert in London, England, HOOKER AND THE HOGS sees the legendary bluesman team up with the British blues-rock band The Groundhogs.

John Lee Hooker is the most elemental of the electric blues giants. His spooky musical minimalism--plaintive yet powerful vocals coupled with guitar work alternately haunting and toe-tapping--has inspired countless artists, from contemporaries like Slim Harpo to acolytes the Rolling Stones. Few, however, can summon up the inexplicable erotic charge at the heart of Hooker's best performances. The patented "boogie" rhythm upon which seemingly every blues-rock and hard rock band of the 1970s wrought variations was virtually invented by Hooker. One of the most-recorded post-war bluesmen, Hooker released records on countless labels, working much of the time in Detroit and Chicago. He kept working well into his eighties, his style growing ever more refined and penetrating.
