Lightnin’ Hopkins was born in 1912 and when he was only eight years old he met Blind Lemon Jefferson on a country picnic and had the opportunity to play some tunes with him This casual meeting not only was the beginning of an important musical career, but also was one of the basis in building up Texas blues history because Lightnin’ Hopinks became a blues legend, and specially in the Houston sound The reissue of this excellent album, with sixteen songs originally recorded in 1954-56 where you can hear Hopkins playing electric guitar, is an essential tool for those people who are just discovering this great music that is called blues and, for those of you who for a long time are really sucked by blues, it is also a good opportunity to replace the old lp for this new cd where Buddha has also included four new songs that were not in the old cd
