![]() Hooker had a unique sense of timing, which demanded "big-eared sidemen". They have been described as "just the right band" for "Boom Boom". Hunter brought with him "the cream of the Motown label's session men, later known as the Funk Brothers": bassist James Jamerson, drummer Benny Benjamin, plus guitarist Larry Veeder, tenor saxophonist Hank Cosby, and baritone saxophonist Andrew "Mike" Terry. Detroit keyboardist Joe Hunter, who had previously worked with Hooker, was again enlisted for the recording session. However, with Vee-Jay, he usually recorded with a small backing band, as heard on the singles " Dimples", "I Love You Honey", and "No Shoes". Prior to recording for Vee-Jay Records, John Lee Hooker was primarily a solo performer or accompanied by a second guitarist, such as early collaborators Eddie Burns or Eddie Kirkland. It has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists, including a 1965 North American hit by the Animals. The song is one of Hooker's most identifiable and enduring songs and "among the tunes that every band on the R&B circuit simply had to play". "Boom Boom" was both an American R&B and pop chart success in 1962 and a UK top-twenty hit in 1992. Although it became a blues standard, music critic Charles Shaar Murray calls it "the greatest pop song he ever wrote". ![]() Please feel free to share your variation, request some sheet music or inform me of any funny songs that should be added to the list."
