'You the funkiest man alive.' Miles Davis' accolade was the perfect
expression of John Lee Hooker's apotheosis as blues superstar:
recording with the likes of Van Morrison, Keith Richards and Carlos
Santana; making TV commercials (Lee Jeans); appearing in films (The
Blues Brothers); and even starring in Pete Townshend's musical
adaptation of Ted Hughes' story The Iron Man. His was an
extraordinary life. Born in the American deep south, he moved to
Detroit and then, in a career spanning over fifty years, recorded
hypnotic blues classics such as 'Boogie Chillen', rhythm-and-blues
anthems such as 'Dimples' and 'Boom Boom' and, in his final,
glorious renaissance, the Grammy-winning album The Healer. Charles
Shaar Murray's authoritative biography vividly, and often in John
Lee Hooker's own words, does magnificent justice to the man and his
music.
