John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt – I’m in the Mood

John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt – I’m in the Mood – Live, 1991.

Can’t figure out which is more soulful, the guitars or the lyrics. This is the blues, the way it should be!

Both of these people are national treasures and irreplaceable. Bonnie is the coolest, smoothest, sexiest rhythmic slide player and vocalist and can play with anyone!

Lyrics:
I’m in the mood, baby
I’m in the mood for love
I’m in the mood, baby
I’m in the mood for love
I’m in the mood, in the mood
Babe, I’m in the mood for love

I say, nighttime is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when the night come, baby got no use so far away

I’m in the mood
I’m in the mood, babe
I’m in the mood for love
I’m in the mood, in the mood, baby
In the mood for love

I said, yes my mama told me, “Don’t leave that girl alone”
But my mama didn’t know, God know, yeah, I wouldn’t put it down

I’m the mood
I’m in the mood, baby, mood for love
I’m in the mood, I’m in the mood
Babe, in the mood for love
