<"b00067gkme4995"> Album Details
The Rediscovery of Sam 'lightnin'' Hopkins (1912-1982) at the Peak of the Blues Revival Established this Then-obscure Singer and Guitarist as One of the Most Compelling and Idiosyncratic Poets of the Rural Idiom. Whether Covering Standards Or Creating Original Narratives, Playing Electric Or Acoustic, Fronting a Band Or by Himself, in the Studio Or in Person, Hopkins Cast a Spell that Marked Him as One of the Blues Immortals. His Numerous Prestige/Bluesville Recording Sessions Allowed Hopkins to Display Every Facet of his Art, and Are Surveyed Here, Highlighted by Samples of his Classic Encounter with Harmonica Master Sonny Terry; Several Signature Story Lines; And his Impromptu Tribute to an American Astronaut.
