Lightnin’ Hopkins – The Very Best of Lightnin’ Hopkins

A masterclass in front-porch blues lightning, cut by a man who didn’t perform songs so much as summon them. This compilation isn’t a souvenir — it’s a field report from the real American blues underground: cracked timber rooms, cigarette-burn ashtrays, and guitars that sound like they’ve survived arguments, not rehearsals. Hopkins plays loose, raw, and utterly human — the kind of blues that can bruise you quietly if you’re not braced for it.
