Item Description
180 gram LP: Although Lightnin' Hopkins had known regional success as a recording artist in the late forties and early fifties, changing musical tastes soon left him without an audience.

However, it was not long before a whole new generation of fans-sparked by the blues folk revival-were knocking on Hopkins' door once more.

This time it was musicologist Sam Charters who tracked Lightnin' down. Lured by a bottle of gin, Hopkins took Charters back to his one room apartment in Houston and recorded these ten songs (with Charters holding the sole microphone up to Lightnin's guitar).

The resulting album, released in 1959 on Folkways, catapulted Hopkins for the very first time into the national spotlight where he was soon being heralded across the country as a giant of the genre.
