Lightnin' Hopkins
Texas Thunderbolt
4Cd Set
This set offers the most comprehensive selection of his recordings made between 1946 and 1955 with all of the key tracks. It comes with a 48 page booklet with his full story, session detail and rare pictures.
Lightnin' Hopkins was one of the blues' greatest talents, whose spare, expressive guitar playing, taciturn vocals and crisp versification all place him firmly in the tradition of Texas blues. Hopkins recorded every kind of Texas blues there was, documenting the various traditions that Blind Lemon Jefferson had first indicated and establishing a personal and often autobiographical genre of his own. His style was born from spending many hours playing informally without a backing band. His distinctive style often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead, percussion, and vocals, all at the same time.
