Lightnin’ Hopkins Sings The Blues
Legendary Houston bluesman, Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins was an icon of American music. This CD compiles the crème of his 1946–1948 recordings for the Los Angeles-based Aladdin Record company – remarkable solitary blues recorded in the fully formed individual style on which he
would build a life-long career.
Lightnin’s guitar style was compelling – old, yet new. His ad-libbed chord changes and stop-time rhythms, produced the hit, “Katie May” right out of the gate. Hopkins scored national R&B hits for Aladdin with his “Shotgun Blues,” “Short Haired Woman” – Essential, evocative Texas blues rooted in a tradition going back to Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Willie Johnson.
