Hopkins, Lightnin' - 1948-1949 CD Cover Art

Lightnin Hopkins 1948-1949 CD - Import

Not available

The third installment in the Classics complete chronological recordings of Lightnin' Hopkins presents a series of predominately solo performances recorded in Houston during 1948 and 1949 for the Gold Star record label, a local enterprise owned and operated by one Bill Quinn. Once these sides began to circulate and were reissued on the Modern and Sittin' in With labels, Lightnin' Hopkins began to acquire modest fame from coast to coast as both "T-Model Blues" and "Tim Moore's Farm" sold well enough to make it onto the national charts as "hits." This is wonderfully honest music. It operates on a very personal level, usually proceeding at a gradual, relaxed pace. "Rollin' Woman Blues" pitches a bit of a woogie and "Mad with You" resurfaces as "Lightnin' Boogie" with tap dancing provided by Houston's own L.C. Williams. ~ arwulf arwulf

Part a follow-up to Muddy Waters' LONDON SESSIONS album (where he was fronting a band of British rock stars heavily influenced by him), part the result of Band drummer/singer Levon Helm and producer Henry Glover's desire to work with Waters, the 1975 WOODSTOCK ALBUM catches Waters in fine form. Waters sounds less fierce ...

Principally recorded at The Maryland Inn, Annapolis, Maryland. Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett. As is so often the case, the talents of singer Eva Cassidy did note come to public attention until after her death. Cassidy died at a mere 33 years of age in 1996, and up until then she'd only been known in the local music scene of Washington D.C. Subsequently, a word-of-mouth groundswell earned her posthumous popularity in England, which then wafted back over to the U.S. TIME AFTER TIME ...
