"Time to immerse yourself in the deep, soulful world of Texas blues legend Lightnin' Hopkins. This powerful LP captures the raw, unfiltered essence of a true blues master, presenting a definitive collection of his work from a golden era. The album showcases his iconic guitar work and deeply personal lyrics, seamlessly moving from the mournful lament of 'Cemetery Blues' and 'The Blues Is A Mighty Bad Feeling' to the hard-driving rhythms of his instrumental boogies. It is a masterclass in the artistry of a one-man band, with Hopkins commanding the listener's attention through every track. Experience the blistering energy of tracks like 'Lightnin's Boogie,' 'Movin' On Out Boogie,' and the playful 'Grandma's Boogie,' which demonstrate his complete command of the instrument. Alongside these are the heartfelt ballads and storytelling that were his hallmark, including the classic 'Evil Hearted Woman' and 'I'm Wild About You Baby.' The LP also features hidden gems like the sentimental 'Remember Me' and the swinging 'Hopkins Sky Hop.' From the classic 'Nothin' But The Blues' and the heartfelt 'I Had A Gal Named Sal,' to the hopeful 'Finally Met My Baby' and the poignant 'Lightnin' Don't Feel Well,' this collection is an essential document of one of the most important figures in the history of American music. It is a journey through the heart of the blues, a raw and honest portrait that every fan of the genre should own."
