Oak Street Cinema Tuesday, September 24, 7:30pm Joerg Bundshcuh, 2000, 90 mins Mississippi-born John Lee Hooker is the father of the endless boogie, the master craftsman of a mesmerizing one-chord groove. Learning the guitar from such blues greats as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charlie Patton and his stepfather, Will Moore, Hooker migrated to Detroit in the 1940s, cutting his first single in 1948. One of the most prolific blues performers of all time, Hooker’s influence has had a profound influence on everyone from Eric Burden and the Animals, the Yardbirds, and the Rolling Stones to Ten Years After and ZZ Top. Bundschuh’s rollicking film explores Hooker’s background and more, and includes appearances by Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, John Hammond, Canned Heat’s Adolfo de la Parra, Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana. At age 84, John Lee Hooker is in his groove. (NW Film Forum) |
