THE COMPLETE PRESTIGE/BLUESVILLE RECORDINGS contains 112 songs representing Lightnin' Hopkins complete output for the Prestige and Bluesville labels from 1960 to 1964, including 13 tracks from a previously unreleased 1963 Swarthmore College concert. Also contained in this set are interview segments from a rare '64 Bluesville album, a 32-page booklet and a complete discography.
Principally recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood, New Jersey and ACA (Gold Star) Studios, Houston, Texas between October 26, 1960 and December 2, 1964. Includes liner notes by Samuel Charters.
This is a seven-CD box set that repackages all 11 LPs that Lightnin' Hopkins recorded for Bluesville and Prestige during the first half of the 1960s: Last Night Blues, Lightnin', Blues in My Bottle, Walkin' This Road By Myself, Lightnin' and Co., Smokes Like Lightning, Hootin' the Blues, Goin' Away, Down Home Blues, Soul Blues and My Life in the Blues. The very prolific Hopkins (who was never loyal to any one label) also recorded for Candid, Arhoolie, Fire and Vee Jay during the period! The bulk of My Life in the Blues is actually a lengthy and rather historic interview that Samuel Charters conducted with Hopkins. A special bonus of the set is 13 often exciting tracks from a previously unissued concert at the Swarthmore College Folk Festival. The music throughout the box covers quite a variety of moods and subject matter (with Hopkins being unaccompanied on 34 of the tracks) and definitively sums up the veteran bluesman's later period. ~ Scott Yanow
