  • Boogie Chillen'
    “Boogie Chillen’”—John Lee Hooker (1948) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Jas Obrecht (guest post)* John Lee Hooker Original label From more than a half-century, John Lee Hooker reigned as the blues’ foremost boogieman and one of the genre’s most idiosyncratic performers. While he recorded more than a hundred albums with some of the finest blues and rock musicians, the heartbeat of his music was always his mesmerizing voice, propulsive guitar playing, and rhythm-driving foot taps. Like Lightnin’ Hopkins, Muddy Waters, and precious few others, Hooker was a musical law unto himself and a direct link to early blues. As Keith Richards observed after playing some sessions with Hooker, “With John Lee, there’s a break in the continuity of styles. What he picked up has got to come from one generation further back than anybody else, and John Lee can still make it work.” Nowhere is this more evident than on Hooker’s breakthrough 1948 single “Boogie Chillen.” When Hooker recorded the song, he was 31 years old and had recently moved to Detroit, Michigan. Accompanying himself with an acoustic guitar outfitted with a sound-hole pickup and tuned to an open-A chord, he framed most of the song’s repetitive, hypnotic feel with a one-chord riff that seemed equal parts West African music and Mississippi blues. Hooker had tested the song at house parties before he recorded it. “That was done at the old United Sound Systems there in Detroit,” he recalled. “They put a ply board under your feet, and your feet would just tap it.

  • Singer-Songwriter John Hiatt Brings Intimate Show to MSU Riley Center on November 20
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Performance – MSU Riley Center, Dr. Daniel Barnard, DMA, Executive Director 601.696.2201, [email protected] Media – Leading Edges, Lynn Combest, Vice President-Sales, 601.483.9810, [email protected] Singer-Songwriter John Hiatt Brings Intimate Show to MSU Riley Center on November 20 MERIDIAN, MS – An Acoustic Evening with John Hiatt on Wednesday, November 20, presents one of America’s great singer-songwriters in an intimate, stripped-down setting at the MSU Riley Center. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. The historic American treasure that is the Riley Center is a perfect venue for Hiatt, winner of a 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting from the Americana Music Association. Three Dog Night, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Keith Urban, Linda Ronstadt, Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson and B.B. King are just some of the artists who have recorded his rich, insightful songs. Through them, even people who have never listened to a Hiatt album or seen one of his shows have grown to love such masterpieces as “Sure as I’m Sittin’ Here,” “Across the Borderline,” “The Way We Make a Broken Heart,” “Have a Little Faith in Me,” “Memphis in the Meantime,” “Angel Eyes” and “Thing Called Love.” They’re straightforward and approachable, steeped in blues, rock and other deeply American musical styles, and packed with thought-provoking turns of phrase. On this tour, Hiatt is featuring new songs from his latest album, “The Eclipse Sessions,” released last year. His record label, New West Records, described them this way: “There’s a grit to these songs – a craggy, perfectly imperfect quality that colors every aspect of the performances, right down to Hiatt’s vocals, which are quite possibly his most raw and expressive to date.” The acoustic format features his subtle guitar playing and his soulful voice, which has definitely gotten growlier over the years.
