After experiencing a massive career resurgence during the folk revival, Texas blues legend Lightnin' Hopkins recorded this session for Vee-Jay Records. The stripped-down recordings perfectly highlight his incredibly loose, idiosyncratic fingerpicking style and the brooding, melancholic poetry of his vocals.
