Lightnin' Hopkins

Description:

He himself is the blues! This 3-CD best-of album (DISC 1: hits, DISC 2: rarities, DISC 3: live recordings) by Lightnin' Hopkins, a picture-perfect Texas bluesman, contains 57 remastered tracks, including 12 previously unreleased songs and 20 songs never before released on CD. Although the truth is still unknown as he has released countless singles and albums in his lifetime, the album contains 57 remastered tracks, including 12 previously unreleased songs and 20 songs that have never been released on CD before. Anyway, you can't go wrong with Lightnin'! The stability of the album is outstanding, as it is said, "Lightnin' never misses!
