Avoid this Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Down Hard Blues: Tribute to Lightnin (Hardcover)
Poor Sam "Lightnin" Hopkins must be rotating in his grave over this pretentious peice of unadulterated crap. There is a total dearth of detail about the man, his life, and his impact on the blues. How something like this got published escapes me. The book is almost totally "poems" "inspired" by L. Hopkins, and not good ones either. The Author say's she never met Sam, but feels his inspiration. I did meet Lightnin, and I know he wouldn't suffer this foolishness if the royalties were being paid to him in total. This is in my humble opinion a rank capitalization on those of us who love the people and music called the blues. Don't waste your time or your money. There incidently, isn't a no star category, so I couldn't do this rag true justice

ban this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Down Hard Blues: Tribute to Lightnin (Hardcover)
This book should be called "Deep Down Bad Poetry" Nothing but a book of bad poetry and sick obsessing.....Fortunately, Lightnin never met this woman.
