Archie Lee Hooker

It is in this context of "Juke Joints", cotton fields and plantations that Archie grew up before leaving in 1963 for Memphis in Tennessee with his mother, where in 1966, he began to recount through music the first wounds of his childhood. In 1989, he left Tennessee to join his mentor John Lee Hooker in California. His uncle became his protector and adoptive father. Archie Lee Hooker reveals to us, by his age and experience, this extraordinary story which inspired him throughout these years and which will become his only religion: the Blues.
