Tracks list

Texas is, like Mississippi, the cradle of the blues. In the same way as John Lee
Hooker offered an alternative to the sophistication of B.B. King at the end of
the Forties, Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins distinguished himself
from the orchestral style of T-Bone Walker by preserving the raw truth in
original Texas blues. A regular sight in the bars of Houston’s Third Ward
district, Hopkins claimed to be the spokesman for everyone in the
workers’ community with nostalgia for his rural origins. His flurries on
guitar and improvised refrains carried a deeply moving message that made him one
the great poets of his time.
