“My dad bought his first Blues album in Sweden in 1964… It was a John Lee Hooker album, and even though it was on the other side of the world from a place he’d never been and could not relate to, the music was so powerful that it changed my dad’s life, and he devoted his whole life to music.” - Ludwig Göransson Yesterday, Swedish musician Ludwig Göransson won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS, further cementing his place as one of the most decorated film composers of the decade. The film, capturing the soul of the Blues and reflecting the journey of artists like Hooker, also took home multiple awards at the Oscars. Thank you, Ludwig, for shining a light on the Blues for a new generation. 💙

“Boom Boom” remains one of John Lee Hooker’s most recognizable hits. John Lee Hooker came up with the song during a long run at Detroit’s Apex Bar. Known for showing up late, he was often teased by the bartender, Luilla, who’d greet him with, “Boom boom, you’re late again.” One night she joked, “Boom boom, I’m gonna shoot you down,” and the phrase stuck. Thank God it did. #JohnLeeHooker
