LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS - VINYL LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS [VINYL]

Popis - LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS [VINYL]:
Texan country blues legend Lightnin' Hopkins was a fingerpicking genius with a mournful voice who, after a spell in prison, first came to prominence through recordings for Aladdin and Gold Star in the late 1940s. Somehow, by the mid-1950s, his star had waned, but when Samuel Charters appeared at his one-room Houston apartment with a bottle of gin, Hopkins agreed to cut ten unaccompanied songs for Folkways, the resultant 'Lightnin' Hopkins' a pivotal success that reignited his career, sparking the blues revival in the process. Full of haunting loneliness, despair, sly innuendo and doses of good humour, this must-have 1959 LP is absolutely brilliant! Comes on clear vinyl.
