John Lee Hooker: The Boogie Man

This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

The story of the blues musician and his far-reaching impact on popular culture told in his own words and those of his family and closest collaborators. Born into poverty and racial segregation, he lived through a monumental time in American history, and interviews with Keith Richards, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, and Robert Cray tell how an illiterate man from the rural and impoverished backwaters of the Mississippi Delta influenced their own musical journey.
