	BOOKS
		We follow Hooker from the rural Mississippi of his birth to the post-war boom town of Detroit, and from his Chicago years on Vee-Jay through his rediscovery in the ’90s and into comfortable semi-retirement in California at the age of 84.
		Murray evokes these times and places with the eye of a sociologist and the pen of a poet.
		Those are the last two words you’d apply to Hooker’s music, of course, and Murray evokes those guttural burrowings as effectively as he did Hendrix’s transcendent space flights.

		Photo of James with Charles Shaar Murray, famous rock critic and blues biographer, what looks like backstage on his recent tour.
		Omigod, the Great CSM, whom I used to read in the "World's Largest Selling Rock Weekly", also know as the New Musical Express...him and Ian MacDonald, Julie Burchill, Tony Parsons, Mick Farren, and, before she decided to get on stage instead of writing about those on stage, Chrissie Hynde, among others.
		CSM had a massive Afro in the mid 70s, which he had to radically trim with the ascent of punk and new wave...he was a decent writer, who likened the Ramones to Steely Dan!

	Amazon.com: Boogie Man: The Adventures of John Lee Hooker in the American Twentieth Century: Books: Charles Shaar Murray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Murray's extensive bio goes all the way back to the beginning in a sprawling literary effort worthy of Hooker's lengthy career.
		In addition, Charles Shaar Murray does a magnificent job of placing Hooker and his inimitable style within its historical, sociological, cultural, and musical context, including several interesting "sidebars" on the history of the blues, the nature of blues music, and that intangible something that makes Hooker so unique and so influential.
		Murray also shares the bias that many Brits share of being convinced that America is a land seething with racism and racial prejudice, from the day the first Europeans landed here up to the present day.

		It so happens that Murray was present at Ronnie Scott’s on the night of the featured performance and has been held in sway ever since.
		Bugger all, really, which is probably why it is more important for me to tell you what my thoughts on the gig rather than how talented the guy is. Unfortunately, the concert itself only lasts for a modest 55 minutes, but by its end little doubt is left as to Taj Mahal’s supremacy.

	Murray,C Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		In a book that is certain to ignite an explosive controversy, Herrnstein and Murray dare to reveal their belief that it is intelligence levels, not environmental circumstances, poverty, or lack of education that are at the root of many of our social problems.
		As he proposes a government that is not just smaller but small overall, Murray's contention is that reduction in government can lead to a country with fewer criminals, fewer poor people, and fewer neglected...
		Grace Monroe has the perfect life: a wonderful husband, loving daughters, a supportive mother, and a successful career in politics that has just earned her a position as a Los Angeles city councilwoman.

	Boogie Man by Charles Shaar Murray - 0312270062
		Boogie Man by Charles Shaar Murray - 0312270062
		Circumventing the traditional, names- and dates-laden methods of biography, Murray's book is a free-wheeling journey through Hooker's Mississippi birthplace, the musical and social backgrounds against which he made his first recording, "Boogie Chillen" (which also became his first hit), and his several cycles of success and obscurity.
		An in-depth examination of the art and life of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and blues legend John Lee Hooker draws from interviews with Hooker himself and a wide range of musicians, relatives, and acquaintances.

	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Music Reviews
		The story is told by Charles Shaar Murray, an English journalist who wrote what is easily the single best book of rock and roll criticism/history, Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and the Rock’n’Roll Revolution.
		His story of Hooker’s roots in Mississippi is also beautifully rendered.
		With no offense to either Hooker or Murray, ultimately Hooker’s story is just not as interesting as, say, Hendrix’s.
