HOPKINS, LIGHTNIN'
Title:
Country Blues
Label:
DOXY (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$23.00
Catalog #:
DOY 637LP
"By the time this LP was recorded in 1959, Lightnin' Hopkins was already a star, but hoping to catch Hopkins in a more informal and relaxed setting, American folklorist Mack McCormick travelled to Texas with just a mono tape recorder. Despite, or perhaps because of, the lack of professional equipment, McCormick manages to capture Hopkins in rare form. The listener has the impression that Hopkins is just hanging out on his front porch with a few friends, playing the blues. It was through his contact with McCormick that Hopkins was presented to rock & roll / blues revival audiences, playing Carnegie Hall with Joan Baez and Pete Seeger in 1960." 180 gram virgin vinyl.

Title:
Blue Lightnin'
Label:
JEWEL RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
LPS 500LP
Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1965. "After a slew of albums aimed primarily at the folk-blues audience that resuscitated his flagging career during the early '60s, Lightnin' Hopkins attempted to regain his original fan base with these unpretentious 1965 sessions for Stan Lewis' Jewel logo. Pretty convincingly, too, with the two-part 'Move on Out' and a down-in-the-alley 'Back Door Friend' among the standouts. Elmore Nixon, another Houston mainstay, plays piano on several cuts." --All Music Guide

Mojo Hand
Label:
UNIVERSE (ITALY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
UV 089CD
Mid-line jewel case version. "One of Lightin' Hopkins' greatest and rarest releases is now out on both CD and LP.
Mojo Hand
(originally released on the Fire label in 1960) is particularly interesting because it presents Hopkins in a context that ranges from blues to classic R&B. The album's title track, originally released as a single, has become one of the artist's signature tunes. While 'Have You Ever Loved A Woman' features Hopkins on piano, 'Glory Be' is characterized by Hopkins' trademark guitar playing. 'Sometimes She Will' is also characterized by Hopkins' instantly recognizable guitar and pronounced vocals, while 'Awful Dreams' is notable for its apocalyptic text. Featuring six bonus tracks."
