Thank sir you for this wee mini portrait vignette. I never knew that Lightnin' was ever an electric Cat with a Strat ... but there you go. I saw Les Banc's film 'Blues According to Lightnin' Hopkins' and it totally changed my life ! A raw food movement in the blues. Excellent. Thank you Texas for the precious Lightnin' Hopkins and to the Good Lord too ! Peace. Amen.
If you've never been in a hot, humid Texas summer...just listen to any Lightnin' Hopkins acoustic tune and you'll know what it feels like. Grew up in Houston and every time I hear Lightnin on the acoustic, I'm instantly transported back to a hot humid August day....and NO ONE could convey SO much with just a simple lyric like he could. He was a brilliant blues musician.

Lightnin was the man. I remember my father had a lot of his 8-track tape’s back in the legendary 1970’s.
nice to see a reverend into lightnin', most shun him for his lifestyle, hats off to you!
Love this channel. It feels like the Reverend can teach what true blues is about, not just guitar techniques😊
