Hopkins, Lightnin'
Lightnin' Hopkins
Texas bluesman Samuel "Lightnin'" Hopkins' musical career was reignited by this 1959 release. With the aid of a little
gin and a borrowed acoustic guitar, musicologist Sam Charters recorded Hopkins in his tiny apartment in Houston, Texas.
The result is nine tracks of pure country blues and Hopkins' reminiscences of his time performing with Blind Lemon
Jefferson.
This vinyl reissue is part of Folkways Records' 70th anniversary celebration series, revisiting some of the most iconic
and influential albums released on the record label.
Remastered from original master tapes. Classic Folkways style tip-on jackets featuring original liner notes.
