Lightning Hopkins – Texas Blues Man FOREST GREEN Vinyl LP (New/Sealed) 2016
Lightnin’ Hopkins had already recorded dozens, if not hundreds, of sides for various labels by the time he hooked up with Chris Strachwitz in the late ’50s, but his recordings for Strachwitz’s Arhoolie label are some of the rawest and strongest of his career. Originally released in 1968, this classic slab of Texas blues is reissued here on high quality vinyl with an exact reproduction of the paste-on sleeve. On Limited Edition Forest Green Vinyl. Only 500 copies made. «perhaps the greatest creative blues singer the world will ever bear»
