He was a Detroiter on a time. I remember radio ads for sets at Baker's Keyboard Lounge. As I understood it, he played boogie, which was distinct from blues, or jazz, or r&b. Perhaps this is the place for Bill's disquisition on the subject?

Boogie spoken here.
That's certainly a connoisseur's list (although it's in the wrong thread), but I'm still not sure I know what Boogie is. Hooker apparently considered himself a Bluesman, and I guess Boogie is a subspecies of Blues, defined by it's propulsive and danceable beat. Perhaps the rhythm is related to the left hand of Boogie-woogie piano style, transformed by transference to guitar? The Rock boogiers, of course, are not playing Blues any more than Cream did. Notice how Elyse concentrates on lesser-known numbers by the famous artists. But is her bias showing in her failure to cite New Speedway Boogie?

Yes, certainly a bias for the unsung (undersung) boogie masters. There were plenty of DH'rs proping the GD at the time and just a few of us Thin Lizzy freaks at the original time of publication.
