Lightnin' Hopkins
Lightnin' (clear)
Texan country blues kingpin Lightnin Hopkins was rated one of the top 100 guitarists of all time by Billboard, and was a
notable influence on Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others. Recordings for Aladdin and Gold Star cemented his reputation, and
after performing at Carnegie Hall with Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, Mojo Hand was a breakthrough hit. The superb 1961 LP
Lightnin (The Blues of Lightnin Hopkins) benefits from the understated presence of King Curtis drummer, Belton Evans,
and jazz bassist Leonard Gaskin, placing Hopkins guitar licks and raspy voice at centre stage, playfully relating
heartbreak and woe.
