From Wikipedia:


"The last word goes to ‛I Ain't Gonna Suffer No More', with Deacon Jones' half-nightclub, half-sanctified organ coddling a lyric about Hooker hunting for a woman who wants to grow old with him (he was 75!), a heartwarming and appropriate end for a truly satisfying album"

Mr. Blues. Yep, the Blues are SUPPOSED to make you sad, that is why they are called The Blues!  He is the master Mr. Blues man!  Thank you John Lee Hooker.

Had the privilege to see John Lee twice, once in Minneapolis and once in Milwaukee in the late '80s. Didn't know what to expect, but he blew the doors off, both times. His backing band, The Coast to Coast Blues Band, gets lots of credit too. Grateful I had the chance to see one of the old blues greats. Long live RP and JLH!
For an alternative (contrasting) view, see Albert Murray's "Stomping the Blues." Blues in this view are an exorcism of misery, not a celebration of it.

Ooof - good and evil man  (not the floity type  : )
Sure thing it's Saint Germain.

Edit: But I was wrong. The samples from that track is from 'Harry's Philosophy'.
