Texas-born Lightnin’ Hopkins is the personification of country blues. He worked primarily as a street singer in Houston until 1960, when he began making concert appearances throughout the United States. The material in this package, originally released in three long-unavailable Bluesville albums, presents a pivotal Hopkins session, recorded in February 1962 in Houston, in its entirety for the first time.
with Buster Pickens, Donald Cooks, Spider Kilpatrick, Billy Bizor
