Lightnin' Hopkins • Dirty Blues


 
 Texas & West Coast blues legend Lightnin' Hopkins delivers an amazing set with his 1971 "Dirty Blues" album. There was nobody quite like Lightnin’ Hopkins. John Lee Hooker may have made more records but even he couldnt match the consistently high level of Hopkins creativity. Lightnin' and his vast repertoire represented the epitome of Texas country blues. No question. He came from a musical family and his unique guitar style was fashioned from the traditions he learned in the presence of Blind Lemon Jefferson and Texas Alexander, a distant cousin. His guitar both underscored and complemented the songs he drew from his own life and the lives of those around him.

La leyenda del blues de Texas y la costa oeste Lightnin 'Hopkins ofrece un set increíble con su álbum de 1971 "Dirty Blues". No había nadie como Lightnin 'Hopkins. John Lee Hooker pudo haber hecho más récords, pero incluso él no pudo igualar el alto nivel de creatividad de Hopkins. Lightnin 'y su vasto repertorio representaban el epítome del blues country de Texas. No hay duda. Venía de una familia de músicos y su estilo de guitarra único se formó a partir de las tradiciones que aprendió en presencia de Blind Lemon Jefferson y Texas Alexander, un primo lejano. Su guitarra subrayó y complementó las canciones que extrajo de su propia vida y las vidas de quienes lo rodeaban.
