Combat Elite: Wwii Paratroopers

"My music is the blues. It tells my story, my problems. People can listen, maybe it'll help them solve their problems. We could be one happy family in this world. We're in it together, enough room for everybody. We're not here to stay, you know- we're just passing through." -John Lee Hooke

John Lee Hooker is one of the foremost blues performers of the postwar period. He is in actuality a Mississippi country bluesman and his music has always been firmly grounded in the traditional blues of his native state. He has remained true to its fundamental principles throughout a professional career of more than five decades. Whether playing solo in 1960 or with the Muddy Waters Band in the same year, or with his touring bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s, John Lee Hooker's genius for writing and performing magnificent, intense and emotionally potent blues can be seen in all its glory in this one hour video collection of rare performances.
