John Lee Hooker’s famous scene in ‘The Blues Brothers’ was filmed on Maxwell Street, the birthplace of Chicago Blues. Muddy Waters was set to play, but fell ill. At the last minute, backed by Muddy’s band, John Landis substituted Hooker and the song, ‘Boom, Boom, Boom.’ 💣💥

“Reincarnated” verse One: Meet Blues Legend John Lee Hooker 🎸 Hooker had a reputation as a ladies’ man, juggling multiple relationships at once. He’d often stretch the truth about his record sales and early life, but that was part of the game back then. He passed on 6/21/01 🕊️

“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. 💙
