JIM PAGE / LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS

[tracedreyer]

I particularly enjoyed listening to and watching this clip. I met Jim Page, and played on that stage. It's funny to see all these negative comments. Folks, the name of the song is "Lighting Hopkins" and it's the singer's personal tribute to the great bluesman, and no one can say he or anybody else is not entitled to write a song about one's heroes. And about a nice thing about folk songs is that they are about people expressing themselves, and saying what they are feeling and thinking.

No harm, Lightnin was a fantastic blues musician, but this guy sounds more like folk or country to my ears. Its not blues. Forgive me if that sounds too "purist" for some of you, but I know what I like, and its the blues, not some dude singin a folk song about a blues musician-- all a bit strange!

[guillelorentzen]

Great performance. Not what I expected when I clicked, but I watched the whole damn thing. Great job.

[bleuskais]

[Rachelvis1]

Is it me or do it hate it when someone talks forever before they sing, I mean were your famous its different, its like people want to hear what U have to say but this guy goes on & on, almost fell asleep....other than that I'm not really into this type of music, but hang in there dude, alot of people like this kind of music, its just I don't......only thing close to this I'd say I like is Bob Dylan, cool guy, met him in 1982 which was pretty cool,and what you see, yea thats bob dylan, quite guy

" No one can sing the blues like Lightning Hopkins,

i don't care what anybody says! "

This line is irrefutable,

i don't care what and i dont care what anybody says!

:o)

[stestooge]

[ohchino]

And amen. Oh, men, Hopkins!

[2711913]

Got to agree with that.

[twocupz]

@lilshnappinturtle The best line is in "Early Mornin' Blues," and it goes . . .

"6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."

"6 months ain't no sentence, one year . . . ain't no great long time."

"I had a dear old daddy . . . died doin' one to ninety-nine."

That's the best blues line goin'.
