The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin' Hopkins (1967)
Loading...
Uploaded by Fliefer on Mar 17, 2007
In his own words and "own own" music, Lightnin' Hopkins reveals the inspiration for his blues. In Les Blank's film (www.lesblank.com) he sings, jives, ponders. He boogies at an outdoor barbeque and a black rodeo, and takes you with him on a homecoming visit to his boyhood home of Centerville, Texas. --Carmen Moore, The Village Voice

The Blues According to Lightin Hopkins-ive been looking for this everywhere...its not easy to get. First saw it on the TV Grey Whistle Test Arena Blues Night back in early 1980's.. Why not show the whole thing...?! The BBQ is a classic and they are all hilariously drunk throughout this.
