Release Notes:
Samuel John "Lightnin'" Hopkins (March 15, 1912 û January 30, 1982)[1] was an
American country blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, and occasional pianist,
from Centerville, Texas. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 71 on its list
of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
The musicologist Robert "Mack" McCormick opined that Hopkins is "the embodiment
of the jazz-and-poetry spirit, representing its ancient form in the single
creator whose words and music are one act".Hopkins's style was born from
spending many hours playing informally without a backing band. His distinctive
fingerstyle technique often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead, and
percussion at the same time. He played both "alternating" and "monotonic" bass
styles incorporating imaginative, often chromatic turnarounds and single-note
lead lines. Tapping or slapping the body of his guitar added rhythmic
accompaniment.
Much of Hopkins's music follows the standard 12-bar blues template, but his
phrasing was free and loose. Many of his songs were in the talking blues style,
but he was a powerful and confident singer. Lyrically, his songs expressed the
problems of life in the segregated South, bad luck in love and other subjects
common in the blues idiom. He dealt with these subjects with humor and good
nature. Many of his songs are filled with double entendres, and he was known for
his humorous introductions to songs.
Some of his songs were of warning and sour prediction, such as "Fast Life Woman"
Here comes the 2017 reissue of his 1961 album Blues In My Bottle.
