This YouTube.com collection goes down home—with a little detour with Mike Bloomfield to pay the bills. This is how it go:

We start with a young John Lee Hooker in The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966, Vol. 1 (Hip-O Records). He comes right out of his face and looks right at you when does a tune called “Hobo Blues.” When you can feel that humanity, then there is a chance you will like what’s next.
