LIghtnin' Hopkins in a "Band" Format,
By TomBob (Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nothin But the Blues (Audio CD)
This CD is more or less a reissue of the 1965 LP, "Lightnin' Strikes" (Tradition 2103), which I've played enough to create some signs of wear. Finding the CD will take some of the stress off the LP.
According to the liner notes of the LP, it was recorded on Oct 4-5, 1965 in Los Angeles by producer Davis Hubert. The original cuts from the LP (CD tracks 3 - 11) place Lightnin' in a band setting with bass (Jimmy Bond), drums (Earl Palmer), and harmonica (Don Crawford) added to Hopkins' guitar and vocals. Though less traditional for Lightnin' Hopkins than some might prefer, these cuts are among my favorite of Hopkins'. The other six tracks are mostly Lightnin' in the more traditional "solo" mode. I've looked on and off for years for a reissue on CD of "Lightnin' Strikes" and was most grateful to find this. |
