Description
A chair creaks and a foot thumps, then Lightnin’ grins into a talking verse like it’s just you and him in the room. Lightnin' Hopkins - Lightnin' Strikes (LP) captures the Texas bluesman in full conversational flow, all sly asides and sudden, flinty runs. There’s a dragged low-E thumb before a trebly snap, a chuckled inhale before the turnaround, and a stop-time shuffle that lands like a wink.
This pressing does what you want: space opens up around the voice and guitar, and the low end sits deeper so that foot-tap feels alive.
File it beside John Lee Hooker, but lean in for Hopkins’ particular blend of late-night storytelling and sly rhythm; it’s postwar country blues strolling into a small club. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Lightnin' Hopkins records online with us. Perfect for a slow Saturday tidy or a late drive across Melbourne when the city has gone quiet.
Small record, big presence. You’ll return to the micro-grooves where he loosens his grip, pauses, then hits that bright, ringing answer and seals the verse.
Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
