He's just the bare bones, gritty,man and his guitar. Real, simple, and sweet.

[ybot1983]

i prefer him to Muddy, he still retains that country blues feeling

[apounds71]

I was introduced to Lightnin through Pandora about 6 months ago, and just cant get enough, this mans blues gives me the tingles, dont know what it is exactly but He makes you feel it, not only hear it.

thats true enough~blues in either A or E but he had it down to a fine art

I like Lightnin' Hopkins, but when you hear several songs in a row they sound a bit samey, he tended to use the same three or four guitar arrangements over and over again.

[blindtcjohnson]

Born Under A Bad Sign,Cream(Written by Albert King) was a massively successful, modern blues song.King influenced by Hopkins? Thanks for Blues history, Steve. 5*
