T-Bone began playing guitar when he was 12 years old and by the time he was 15, he was already good enough to go on the road with a traveling medicine show. He soon began backing up such blues legends as Blind Lemon Jefferson and Ma Rainey.
In 1929, T-Bone made his first recordings for Columbia Records. These were not very successful, but he continued to perform and record throughout the 1930s. In 1942, he switched to the Black & White label and had his first hit with “Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad).” This was followed by a string of other hits, including “I Got a Break, Baby,” “Stormy Monday Blues,” and “Trinity River Blues.”

Hooker’s were among the first blues songs to achieve widespread commercial success. His best-known songs include “Boogie Chillen'” (1948) and “Boom Boom” (1962).
Hooker’s delivery was often conversational and added to the suggestiveness of his lyrics. In typical songs like “I’m in the Mood” (1951), he would alternate between speaking and singing the verses, each separated by instrumentals. This technique created intimacy in his live performances that helped establish him as one of the most respected blues artists of his generation.
