From the Vaults of Everest Records Vol.1: Drinking in the Blues

Amazon.co.uk It's hard to tell where or when exactly these recordings originated, but they seem to be mostly from 1959 and 1960, when a resurgence of interest in folk music carried Lightnin' Hopkins along with it, exposing his music to new (white) audiences and expanding his fan base, giving him star status. A mix of live and studio recordings, Drinkin' in the Blues contains both acoustic and electric music, as well as backup from such luminaries as Big Joe Williams, Sonny Terry, and Brownie McGhee. Hopkins had a gift for brilliant execution on the guitar, strong songwriting skills, and expressive vocals. He also had, as the opening track on this CD illustrates, impeccable comic timing; the monologues on "Big Black Cadillac Blues" must be ranked among this collection's finest moments. Given the quality of the music on this CD, that's high praise indeed. --Genevieve Williams Product description I will ship by EMS or SAL items in stock in Japan.
