A lot of people can thank the Blues Brothers movie for hearing this song for the first time I'm glad I can thank my 95 year old father for that. The Hook is the point blank definition of a bluesman.

No wonder ZZ Top ripped this riff classic.

I were 12 when I first heard John Lee. My Dad saw how I would rewind and play that 20 second clip of boom boom that I had recorded on a vhs tape. He went out and got me a John Lee Hooker best of album. I never got nothing for free as a kid. The last verse of this song makes sense now I'm older.

John Belushi & Dan Ackroyd Brilliant, geniuses. Great movie.

Jake Blues, lighting a cigarette: “Me and the Lord, we have an understanding”.
Elwood Blues: “We’re on a mission from God”.

I remember this was background music (among many, many others) in the Blues Brothers Movie. Great movie great music! 1980s comedy at it's very best!

I first heard this song on one of those old 90s mix tapes your crush would give to you. My crush had good taste.
