2.0 out of 5 stars Late-period Lightnin', April 9, 2000

This review is from: The Legacy Of The Blues, Vol. 12: Lightnin' Hopkins (Audio CD)

Not your first Lightnin' Hopkins purchase by a long shot, but this works OK as one of his final statements. Less immediately likeable than consistent, this release finds Lightnin' playing less and letting the rhythm section do much of the work. 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.'
