Our Take

Picture this: you're walking down a dusty road, guitar in hand, singing the blues like there's no tomorrow. That's the feeling you get when you listen to Lightnin' Hopkins' The Very Best of Lightnin' Hopkins. This album is a raw, gritty, and unapologetically authentic collection of blues classics that showcase Hopkins' incredible talent as a musician and storyteller. From the haunting vocals on "Moanin' Blues" to the foot-stomping rhythm of "Katie Mae," each track will transport you to a smoky bar in the deep south, where the music is as soulful as the bourbon flowing freely. Hopkins' guitar skills are truly something to behold - his fingerpicking style is mesmerising, weaving intricate melodies that speak volumes without ever saying a word. It's no wonder he's considered one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time. But what really sets this album apart is Hopkins' ability to capture the essence of the human experience in his lyrics. Whether he's singing about love lost, hard times, or the simple joy of a good drink, his words cut straight to the heart and linger long after the music has faded. So grab a bottle of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Lightnin' Hopkins take you on a journey through the blues. You won't regret it. Stars: 4.5/5.
