 Episode 4 is about the life and musical career of Blues Master John Lee Hooker.  A native of Mississippi, Hooker is known as ‘King of the Boogie’.  He has been the major influence on my love for boogie-style music.

 The titles of releases on my label Big Guitar Music the songs are taken from in this episode include Boogie Man, Classic Live Performances of the 1990s vol.1, What’s Buggin’ You?, Muddy Springs Road, and Big Town Playboy.

 The musicians featured in the tracks on this episode are Chris Duarte, Derek O’Brien, Eve Monsees, Gary Primich, George Rains, George Reiff, Gerry “Phareaux” Felton, James Cotton, Jason Crisp, Malcolm “Papa Mali” Welbourne, Mike Buck, Nico Leophonte, Paul Junior, Rich Chilleri, Ronnie James, and Wes Starr.  I am on vocals and guitar (except on “Lone Star Boogie” and “Boogie Man”).

 Omar’s Picks for further study of copyrighted music not used in Episode 4 the Legendary Modern Recordings from 1945 to 1954, The Ultimate Collection, 1948 to 1990, and Alone on Rhino Records, the first concert and the second concert.
