Paul Natkin has photographed electric-blues icon John Lee Hooker several times, but his take on one of the last times he shot the prolific singer underscores how frail the singer was near the end of his life.

Download a PDF of the interview below, with Natkin's own words about the show (which proved to be one of the singer's last) or, for your convenience, download it as a word doc.
