The Blues Accordin’ to Lightnin’ Hopkins (1967)

In his own words and “own own“ music, Lightnin’ Hopkins reveals the inspiration for his blues. In Les Blank’s film () he sings, jives, ponders. He boogies at an outdoor barbeque and a black rodeo, and takes you with him on a homecoming visit to his boyhood home of Centerville, Texas. --Carmen Moore, The Village Voice
