Lightnin Hopkins – Lightnin Strikes (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins recorded prolifically through the 1960s folk-blues revival, becoming one of the era's most sought-after acoustic performers after years of flying under the radar. His loose, conversational guitar style and deeply personal storytelling made him a touchstone for generations of guitarists, from Texas blues disciples to the broader rock world that was just beginning to understand what it owed to artists like him. The 1966 session captured here finds him in his prime, relaxed and unfiltered.
Lightnin' Strikes (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) [180g LP] Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging. Recorded in 1966 for the Verve Folkways label, Lightnin' Strikes may not have the notoriety as some of Hopkins' other albums, but this set backed by Jimmy Bond (bass), Earl Palmer (drums) and Don Crawford (harmonica) is classic Lightnin'. From the opener, "Mojo Hand," to the ballad "Woke Up This Morning," Lightnin' Strikes showcases classic blues from one of the best there was. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
