Miss this Docu & you,ll be missing a real treat...John Lee Hooker was one of the greatest bluesmen of the 20th century.
Born into poverty and racial segregation, he lived through a monumental
time in American history. This is the story of a cultural icon, and his far-reaching impact on
popular music, told in his own words and those of his family and closest
collaborators. Interviews with Keith Richards, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Bonnie
Raitt and Robert Cray tell how an illiterate man from the rural and
impoverished backwaters of the Mississippi Delta influenced their own
musical journey. We reveal his part in bringing the Blues to a new
generation of young British musicians and how, in turn, those musicians
introduced young, mainstream Americans to their own cultural heritage. His is an astonishing tale of survival and creativity, ingenuity and
reinvention of a man who became a superstar against extraordinary
odds. It is also the story of modern America, portrayed through the
incredible and touching journey of a singer-songwriter who has left an
indelible mark on today’s music...I enjoyed watching this and so will you!
