Maybe I should have used this one instead.  I can't find the version I'm thinking of.

John Lee Hooker is an icon of American blues.  Or maybe an iconoclast.  It's not that he lacks technique, that is his technique.

Here he shares the stage with another of my favorites.  

It doesn't get any better than that.

Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?

I used to go see Mr Hooker at a little club not too far from Chicago from time to time.  I'd sit right next to the low stage and watch his feet keeping time.  That man had some great shoes, let me tell you.
The music was just fine too.
