The Sicilian
Absolutely loved it when the Stones brought out John Lee Hooker in Atlantic City to play Boogie Chillen in 1989. Hooker took over the stage as Eric Clapton hung around after a hot "Little Red Rooster."

It's a way of playing the blues, not a unique riff - just like a guitar boogie. John Lee Hooker has several songs with this motif as well - way before Slim.

Awesome to see John Lee Hooker up there - he exudes so much coolness - were you at that show Sicilian?
I was lucky enough to see him back around 1979 at the very small Fox Theater in Venice, CA with Canned Heat and the Chambers Brothers - being only 16 at the time I was in complete awe.

Rolling Stones Wrap Up U.S. Tour With Eric Clapton, Axl Rose, John Lee Hooker
Interesting quote here - how times have changed:
"With a kind of crazed appropriateness, the Convention Center shows were presented by Trump Plaza, owned by Donald Trump,
the perfect person to place the cherry on the cake of a tour as distinguished for its marketing as for its music".

John Lee should have been sued for ripping off his own songs!!!

Hooker borrowed from Clarksdale bluesman Tony Hollins ....
Crawlin' Kingsnake 1941 (although Big Joe Williams recorded it first)
and Hooker turned Hollin's Travellin' Man Blues into his own When My First Wife Left Me ....
Hollins also cut the first recording of Cross Cut Saw Blues in 1941 but it was never issued .....

Not sure if it's been discussed but the every time I hear each of these songs it sounds like a different version of the same song.
Slim Harpo (1966) Shake Your Hips / Stones (1972) Shake Your Hips
ZZ Top (1973) La Grange

La Grange is half Hip Shake and half Boogie Chillun!

Speaking of ZZ, Jesus Just Left Chicago and AC/DC Ride On are similar.

"Ride On" also has a "Fool For Your Stockings" feel.
