Lightnin' Hopkins re-released as The Roots of Lightnin' Hopkins is an album by blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins, recorded in 1959 and released on the Folkways label. The album was first released at around the time the book The Country Blues came out and was an instant success and gave Lightnin's career a well-deserved new lease on life. Lightnin' went on to record many more songs in the '60s and '70s. Sam Charters produced this session, featuring Lightnin' and a three-piece band following him as best they can. Lightnin' is playing an acoustic with an electric pickup on it through an amplifier, and even throws in a bit of slide guitar on the chaotic opener, Please Help Poor Me and The Hearse Is Backed Up to the Door. But ultimately the rhythm section isn't all that great a fit, and Lightnin' sounds distracted at times. Not essential, but it does have its moments.

The Legacy Of The Blues Vol. 12 LP, Album. SNTF 672. The whole band as a unit is out of control and time. However on close listening Hopkins is occasionally pulling off some amazing riffs during a few tunes. Those few riffs are why I've rated this 3 when it's really about a 1-12.

This is for people who have a lot of Lightnin' Hopkins music and want to hear a slice of him at the end of his career on an occasion when he was still giving it a reasonable effort. No tracks stand out, but almost any Lightnin' is good Lightnin
