[BloozeDaddy76]

Quite possibly the greatest down home country blues song ever recorded. Great lonesome guitar sound by Lightning Hopkins. I discovered this song a few years ago on a cassette tape someone gave me, an dit is one of my top blues tunes ever.

[kyoku1982]

Lightnin' was lightnin' in a bottle.

[VeeR666T]

very cool!



[spacelordMF420]

Nice tune man, i can see you are using your Lenco and it sounds great!

I have my dads old Lenco L-75 and i'm loving it more and more :)

[markraymondatteberry]

Lordy, I miss the sound of a broke-in-real-good LP!

You'll always be our hometown hero of the blues, Lightnin'!

Dedication for your historical marker is next month and it's long overdue!

[TheOtotheD]

It's a crying shame that today's youth will never experience the beauty of vinyl. No sound will ever compare.

[RockinEd]

nothing like the sound of a turntable to make you feel like its there in front of you

Jesus!!!! Great!!!

[laoula]

Incredible sound ! Thank you for the answer.

[laoula]

Is this album called "Dirty Blues" ?

[laceup1967]

This isn't an album. It's the original 78 rpm recording.

[grazolo]

Can you give me the title of the album where i can find this song ?

thanks

[JimmyOnions]

It's like a fucking religious experience. I think I need a turntable.....now

[abarefootboy]

I saw Lightning at the Cabal in Berkeley one night in 1964. never been the same

[flako1981]

the best blues song of all the times!!

[carter454545]

you must have 'jakehead boggie' on that album..greatest guitar I ever heard

[laceup1967]

Actually it's not an album. It's the original 78rpm record. Hope you like.

[whenimsurfing]

jesus bring back vinyl now ... what a sound

fucking system progress to darkness and ignorance

[Willyblues]

I saw Lighnin' in the club that became CBGBs, don't remember name, in NYC, late 70's or early 80's! Anybody have a video from there?

[laceup1967]

I'm using an Ortofon with a straight '78' stylus.

[aldiakaroofus]

What brand of needle/cartridge are you using? I have a Stanton 681EEE on my Lenco 75.
