1966 · 1960s · · · · Directed by David Dobkin
John Lee Hooker’s “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” is a masterful reinterpretation of Rudy Toombs’ 1953 blues classic, originally recorded by Amos Milburn. Hooker’s 1966 version, featured on his album “The Real Folk Blues,” showcases his distinctive boogie style and storytelling prowess. The song narrates the tale of a man drowning his sorrows in alcohol after a breakup, a theme that resonates deeply in the blues genre. The accompanying music video, directed by David Dobkin, captures the raw emotion and gritty atmosphere of the track, further cementing its place in blues history.
