Ligthning Hopkins Youtube Blues Guitarist
2008 July 29
In case you missed my previous article about Lightning Hopkins the legendary acoustic Blues Guitar Player, here’s another song complete with sunglasses, it’s a slow blues, talking style of vocal line. This is history and it’s wonderful to have it saved and preserved on video. It’s from the American Folk Blues Festival 1964. His voice is outstanding in this video, see how simple his guitar part is and it stands up. I can hear a lot of what Hendrix based his style on in this tune. I’d be struggling to say I’ve ever heard a better blues than this.
