Description
The recordings here were made at a pivotal moment in his career. In 1960, at 48 years old, he was no longer a star in the black community, but was becoming a folk legend. His deeply personal music not only reflected the experiences of his community but touched a universal nerve. Chris Strachwitz, who often recorded Hopkins, has called his records "brief audio snapshots of one of the great folk poets to emerge from the African-American experience in Texas." Take It Easy, Mighty Crazy, Your Own Fault, Baby, to Treat Me the Way You Do, I've Had My Fun If I Don't Get Well No More, the Trouble Blues, Lightnin's Piano Boogie, Wonder Why, Mister Charlie, Black Cat. 180 gram vinyl.
