About the artist

Lightnin' Hopkins

Lightnin' Hopkins, born Sam John Hopkins in 1912 in Centerville, Texas, was a true blues legend with a guitar style that could make even the most jaded listener stand up and take notice. With his gravelly voice and effortless fingerpicking, he effortlessly blended traditional blues with his own unique twist, creating a sound that was unmistakably his own. Growing up in the Deep South, Hopkins learned to play the guitar from his older cousin, the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson. He quickly honed his skills and began playing in local juke joints and on street corners, eventually making a name for himself in the Texas blues scene. But it wasn't just Hopkins' guitar playing that set him apart - it was also his ability to tell a story. His lyrics were often raw and honest, reflecting the struggles of everyday life in the South. Whether he was singing about love, loss, or redemption, Hopkins always managed to strike a chord with his listeners. But it wasn't just his music that made Hopkins a true legend - it was also his larger-than-life personality. Known for his sharp wit and infectious charm, he could captivate an audience like no other. Whether he was playing to a small crowd in a smoky bar or a packed house at a music festival, Hopkins always gave it his all. Sadly, Hopkins passed away in 1982, but his music lives on. With a discography that spans over 50 albums, he left behind a legacy that continues to inspire musicians to this day. So next time you're in need of some soul-stirring blues, look no further than Lightnin' Hopkins - a true master of his craft.
