John Lee Hooker feat. Bonnie Raitt - I'm in the Mood


This is a clip from the music video to the John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt collaboration "I'm in the Mood".
The song is from Hooker's 1989 record "The Healer" which was a somewhat successful record for him peaking on no. 62 on the Billboard 200. The album featured collaborations on almost every single track, the guest artists included: Robert Cray, Carlos Santana and band, Los Lobos and of course Bonnie Raitt.
It's a very good album that really shows all aspects of what Hooker was as an artist. It features the bigger jazzy laid back thing on the Santana collaboration and there's also three tracks where Hooker accompanies himself in the style of the 30's and 20's, very cool indeed.
The cool thing is that the video is snapped from an old MTV broadcast. Remember? MTV used to play music videos, and good videos featuring talented artists. Wow miss those days, but at least we still have access to all of that through the computer.

Enjoy ; )
