Reissued On Vinyl LP!
Remastered From Original LP Master Tapes!

Remastered from original LP Master Tapes in 1959 in Classic Folkways style tip-on jackets featuring original liner notes.

Texas bluesman Samuel "Lightnin'" Hopkins' musical career was reignited by this 1959 release. With the aid of a little gin and a borrowed acoustic guitar, musicologist Sam Charters recorded Hopkins in his tiny apartment in Houston, Texas. The result is nine tracks of pure country blues and Hopkins’ reminiscences of his time performing with Blind Lemon Jefferson.
