Lightnin' Hopkins

Blues
Lightnin' Hopkins was an influential blues musician whose work played a significant role in the blues revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s. His self-titled album, recorded in 1959 and released on the Folkways label, captured the essence of his sound using just one microphone. This album included notable tracks such as "Penitentiary Blues" and "Trouble Stay 'Way from My Door," showcasing his raw talent and storytelling ability. Discovered by Sam Charters in a Houston apartment, Hopkins's music resonated deeply with audiences, leading to the album being re-released in 1965 as "The Roots of Lightnin' Hopkins." A CD version followed in 1990 by Smithsonian/Folkways, further solidifying his legacy in American music.
