[engl] Lightnin' Hopkins was one of the greatest and most popular authentic blues artists. These songs weren't his first recordings but they were the first released under his own name. Although he did record with other musicians and even with full bands it's these acoustic classics that best illustrate his art and they are some of the most endearing blues tracks ever recorded. Includes the popular songs 'Katie Mae Blues', 'Short Haired Woman' and his biggest chart hit 'Shotgun Blues'. A true genius of the genre this Lightnin' Hopkins release is a must have for blues and R&B fans.
