A song written by American Blues legend and guitarist JOHN LEE HOOKER recorded in 1961 the song became not just a hit on the R’N’B charts but in the pop charts too, recorded by many Blues and other artists. It became a huge hit for THE ANIMALS in 1965 recorded for their debut album. There are several wordless phrases How,How,How,How. and Hmm,Hmm,Hmm,Hmm. Thirty years after Hooker’s release it was taken up by Lee Jeans for a Commercial in 1992.

A new album of covers titled “A LETTER HOME” from Neil Young recorded at Jack White’s Nashville studio and released on the Third Man Records label set up by White, White apparently features on two tracks. Some of the covers are Dylan’s “Blowin In The Wind” the Tim Hardin song “Reason To Believe” and Bruce Springsteen “My Hometown” and the song Neil played at the Carnegie Hall Shows last year by Bert Jansch “Needle of Death” seems to be the trend with Springsteen releasing a similar set of covers with his “High Hopes” album earlier this year.
