To be sure, JLH is a well-known figure in American blues and rock, but I'm not sure how many folks are familiar with his solo stuff and how interesting and moving it is. From "The Best of the Blues:"

A big reason why Hooker remained a solo artist for so long was his unpredictable, improvisational attacks on conventional song structure and meter.

So here he is on "Serves Me Right to Suffer." Enjoy.
