That's My Story is a studio album by American blues musician John Lee Hooker, released in 1960 on Riverside Records.[1] The album was recorded in one session on February 9, 1960 at Reeves Sound Studio in New York City.[7] It was produced by Orrin Keepnews and features the rhythm section from saxophonist Cannonball Adderley's group, which included bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes.[7]

By the time of That's My Story's release, Hooker's delta-form of playing had influenced and become part of the "folk boom".[8] Mojo cited the album as the point when Hooker "developed the more ruminative side of his work".[9]
