If you want some early sides by the great Lightnin' Hopkins, this is a good place to come. Or, rather, it's one of the good places; you could just as easily get the Arhoolie compilations, which duplicate many of the titles on this disc. Drawn mainly from Hopkins' stay on the Gold Star label, there's no doubt it's all quality stuff, showcasing the way the man could improvise a lyric in the studio and make it seem as if it had been around forever. He'd juxtapose those with older blues, and the two would sit perfectly well side by side. But he was also an eccentric performer, one who could work a theme for a couple of verses then drift off, or change tempo at will during a guitar break, making for strange listening at times. But in that is also some charm -- it's impossible to dislike him, or even find him mean-spirited. ~ Chris Nickson

There's a special quality to the blues that came up out of Texas. You can hear it in the raggy-time music of Henry Thomas, in the spiritually charged rituals of Blind Willie Johnson, and in the unmistakable Southwestern blues of Lightnin' Hopkins. It is said that young Sam Hopkins received firsthand instruction from Blind Lemon Jefferson. As a boy, Hopkins worked in the cotton fields until choosing to become, like Henry Thomas, a wandering musician. He also began performing with his cousin, a pianist and blues shouter from Leona, south of Centerville, who went by the name of Texas Alexander. Sam Hopkins became known as Lightnin' when in 1946 he made 14 records with pianist Thunder Smith for the Aladdin label in Hollywood. This is the fifth installment of Lightnin' Hopkins' complete recordings presented in chronological order. There are occasional departures from his standard pattern of blues for solo voice and guitar: "Needed Time" ...
