John Lee Hooker‘s ‘That’s My Story’ is a studio album recorded on February 9, 1960 with Sam Jones & Louis Hayes (the rhythm section from Cannonball Adderley) and released the same year by Riverside.
How well do you know the music of Snoop Dogg’s "Gin and Juice" mixes laid-back G-funk vibes with sly rebellion, while Tupac’s haunting "Hail Mary" delves into faith and mortality with eerie minimalism. The Notorious B.I.G.’s reflective "Sky’s the Limit" blends personal struggles with smooth R&B, and Blackstreet’s "U Blow My Mind" rides sultry harmonies over polished New Jack Swing. Meanwhile, John Lee Hooker’s gritty blues tracks like "Too Young" and "Annie Mae" showcase raw storytelling, and Jade’s upbeat "Every Day of the Week" adds ’90s sass to its sample-heavy R&B. Tracks like M People's "Search for the Hero" radiate uplifting energy, while A+’s "Enjoy Yourself" layers hip-hop over disco nostalgia. Billy Ocean’s edgy "Pressure" leans into dancehall rhythms, capturing a personal defiance that contrasts with his usual smoother style.? Take our 12-track quiz.
