#OnThisDay in 2001, #JohnLeeHooker, American blues guitarist ("Boom Boom"; "Boogie Chillen"), died at 83.
#RIP 
Today's #ThursdayFiveList theme is #CaliforniaDreaming. These are the first five California songs that I came up with:

"Boom Boom" is a song written by American blues singer and guitarist #JohnLeeHooker and first recorded October 26, 1961. Although it became a #bluesStandard, music critic #CharlesShaarMurray calls it "the greatest #pop song he ever wrote". "Boom Boom" was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 and a UK top-twenty hit in 1992. The song is one of Hooker's most identifiable and enduring songs.

JOHN LEE HOOKER
It Serve You Right To Suffer
1966 U.S. stereo pressing
Last night, while groggily stumbling around half asleep, I stubbed my toe on our brick fireplace and fractured my foot.
I’m black, blue, swollen and miserable; in huge amounts of pain, so I figured some blues would be appropriate today while I’m laid up.
Maybe it does serve me right. 
Who knows…

Musical Interlude: OK, I'm giving you a whole album this time. As an antidote to the cold snap, I listened to this film soundtrack, from a neglected neo-noir film from the 90s, and full of blues music redolent of hot dry summer days. Featuring John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, and Taj Majal, it's quite an experience.

Born this day in 1917, John Lee Hooker. I was fortunate to attend a show of his in 1972 at the old Ash Grove in LA.

John Lee Hooker - It Serves You Right to Suffer
John Lee Hooker and three Jazz sidemen, and just an incredible set of sad, sad blues songs.
