Lightnin' Hopkins Blues Master Works

When the legendary blues musician Lightnin’ Hopkins died in January 1982, the New York Times was moved enough to record, in its obituary for the highly respected 70-year-old guitarist and composer, that he was “one of the great country blues - and perhaps the greatest single influence on rock guitar players”.

Rolling Stone magazine saluted Hopkins’ achievements with a placing in its 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time poll, and his hundreds of recordings remain in constant demand among blues music enthusiasts everywhere.

Lightnin Hopkins has even been honoured with a life-size statue in Crockett, Texas – an appropriate tribute to the man who was known as the “Texas Troubadour” and whose music brought pleasure to so many people.

His classics included Got My Mojo Workin’, Hoochie Coochie Man and I Just Want To Make Love To You. His legacy of music continues to enthral devotees some three decades later, however, and this new collection underlines why the name of Muddy Waters will never be forgotten by blues music devotees.
