Our Take

Lightnin' Hopkins' "Mojo Hand / Blues In My Bottle" is a toe-tappin', finger-snappin' good time from start to finish. With his signature gritty vocals and masterful guitar skills, Hopkins effortlessly transports listeners to the smoky juke joints of the Deep South.

On "Mojo Hand," Hopkins channels his inner bluesman, laying down soulful tracks that are guaranteed to get your hips swaying. From the haunting title track to the foot-stomping "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," Hopkins proves once again why he is a legend in the blues world.

But it's on "Blues In My Bottle" where Hopkins truly shines. The album is a raw, stripped-down affair that showcases Hopkins' versatility as a musician. From the heartbreaking "Blues In The Bottle" to the rollicking "Take It Easy," Hopkins proves that he can do it all.

Throughout both albums, Hopkins' lyrics are as sharp as ever, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and life on the road. And with his trademark wit and charm, Hopkins keeps listeners hooked from the first note to the last.

In conclusion, "Mojo Hand / Blues In My Bottle" is a must-have for any blues fan. Hopkins' timeless sound and infectious energy make this album a true classic that will have you coming back for more. So grab a bottle of your favorite whiskey, turn up the volume, and let Lightnin' Hopkins take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.

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.
