John Lee Hooker

The life and times of this Blues legend and the music that influenced a rising generation of rockers. John Lee tells the tale himself, with help from his family, closest friends, and musical colleagues. From humble beginnings as the son of a sharecropper, through his experiences touring the Jim Crow South, to his performances in San Francisco's Boom Boom Room toward the end of his life, this film chronicles the journey that ultimately established Hooker as Blues royalty.
