Today's song is from one of the greatest acoustic blues men that ever picked up a guitar in my opinion. Sam Hopkins was was born in Centerville Texas in 1912. His slow, solid, style of playing has been mimicked by many guitarists down through the years. He is one of the few who like Robert Johnson, played bass rhythm and lead all at the same time while doing the vocals for his music. The above song is a great example of his skills as a bluesman. This song was recorded sometime in the early 60's. Hope you enjoy Lightning Hopkins.
