Chains, Chords and Grace: The Redemption of John Lee Hooker, Jr

🎸 From prison cell to pulpit. 🎤 From opening for his father to praying with Keith Richards. 🙏 From blues to grace. Rev. John Lee Hooker, Jr. has lived a life most wouldn’t believe—if it weren’t all true. Born into blues royalty as the son of John Lee Hooker, he seemed destined for the stage. But addiction, crime, and incarceration rewrote the script… until faith and purpose gave him a new one. In this episode of The Not Old Better Show, I sat down with Rev. Hooker to talk about: 🔁 Returning to Soledad Prison—first to perform, then to serve time, then again as a prison chaplain. 🎶 Escaping the shadow of the blues and creating a new sound based in redemption, not regret. ❤️ His journey back to family, fatherhood, and legacy. 🕊 What it truly means to start over after 50. This isn’t just a music story. It’s a human story. One of resilience, recovery, and the reality that life doesn’t end at 50—it deepens. 💥 As Rev. Hooker says: “I used to glamorize the blues. Now I testify.” 🎧 Listen to this unforgettable conversation at: https://apple.co/3FAbebT #Redemption #MusicLegacy #Over50 #Transformation #NotOldBetter #LifeAfterAddiction
