Description / Review:
————————
This is one of the only RIAA safe albums of his out there anymore, take advantage of it! Lightnin’ was known in his early years for one-note solos on an open string – he’d be leaning down to reach for his glass of whiskey. He was known through his entire career to be slightly offtime and forget when to change chords. His laid back manner to the blues is what made him such a classic player.One story worth mentioning on this album: The first track, Buddy Brown’s Blues, is a rendition of a song recorded by Texas Alexander in 1929. Alexander claimed he had been sent to jail one time for singing "a bad song" – this one – with a "suggestive" verse (I got something to tell you/make the hair rise on your head/I got a new way of lovin/make the springs squeak on your bed). The rumor was probably untrue, the verse was really not that bad, even for those days, but Lightnin’ was reluctant to record it anyway. During the instrumental break preceeding the verse, the producer starting miming the lyrics and making his hair stand on end, which got Lightnin’ to start grinning and finish the song off properly.
From the album case:
"The late, great Lightnin’ Hopkins was one of the most natural of bluesmen – a poet who would often make up lyrics as he recorded. Because his meters and chord changes were frequently irregular, he was at his best when unccompanied, as on this 1961 Prestige date. Besides such blues standards as "Wine Spodee-O-Dee," Blues in the Bottle," and "Catfish Blues," the album contains several autobiographical originals, including "Beans, Beans, Beans" about his brief stint on a railroad track gang and "DC-7" about his aversion to flying. Though he usually played electric guitar, the Texas blues titan performed here with an acoustic and the result was most rewarding."Track Listing
