The enduring musical journey of Sam Lightnin' Hopkins began on a cotton farm in Centerville,Texas in 1912. He was drawn to the music he heard played by an older brother. After meeting up with Dallas bluesman Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sam left the hardscrabble life of the Texas cotton fields, determined to play his way to better circumstances.

Next to Mississippi John Hurt, Lightnin´ Hopkins is my favourite bluesman. The emotion, soul and heart in this man´s music are extraordinary.

@deramr the CD is labeled as "Best of Blues" and is a 2CD set - this song is no. 19 which is misnamed as Jake Head Boogie. The company is Radio Star Records and produced it in 1999. I tried to post the link but it didn't let me, but you can go to musik sammler and type 86804 for more info, or just google this.

I really want to buy this album but I can't find this particular recording anywhere. I found two albums called "Lightnin Strikes" and one called "Lightnin Strikes Twice", and this song isn't on any of them. Does anybody know where this is from?

@deramr i stumbled upon this song by coincidence when I purchased a CD in Germany. The song list had this one as Jakehead Boogie, which is another of Lightnin's great songs, but it was a pleasant surprise as a Blues Fan...I did my research on what album this song belonged to but nothing came up, so I decided to post this song hoping someone could come up with the answer...
