John Lee Hooker is no ordinary bluesman, as his influence has been so profound and far-reaching that, after nearly half a century, blues music is so laden with his presence that no contemporary bluesman can play a note without summoning his spirit. John Lee Hooker began performing "Crawling King Snake" early in his career and included it in his sets after arriving in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1940s. In an interview, Hooker explained that he adapted Tony Hollins' song: "I got that ''Crawling King Snake'' from him". Hooker first recorded the song in Detroit on February 18, 1949 for producer Bernard Besman. When it was released by Los Angeles-based Modern Records, "Crawling King Snake" became one of Hooker's most successful singles, reaching number six on the Billboard R&B chart in 1949. Hooker recorded several subsequent versions of the song, including one with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards for Hooker's 1991 album Mr. Lucky. The blues is a musical, vocal and instrumental genre derived from the work songs of African-American populations experiencing racial segregation in the United States. The blues appeared in the southern United States during the 19th century. It is a style where the singer expresses his sadness and his setbacks. The 1920s and 1930s saw the emergence of the recording industry, and thus the rise in popularity of singers and guitarists such as Robert Johnson, Blind Blake and Lonnie Johnsons. But the 1920s also saw hugely popular classic blues singers, such as Bessie Smith and Alberta Hunter. The collection CRAWLIN' KING SNAKE allows you to discover the greatest artists of the genre, or to complete your collection with rare recordings from the 1920s to the 1960s.
