Goin' Down Slow - Lightnin' Hopkins

The range of Texas blues guitar styles, both rural and urban, is captured in this collection of fourteen performances by four legendary Texas bluesmen. Blazing 1991 performances by the great Albert Collins generate a heat which belies his Iceman moniker. Freddie King cooks at a full boil in a 1972 set which includes his signature Blues Band Shuffle. Rare 1960 footage of Lightnin' Hopkins shows how intense the downhome acoustic blues could be. A 1968 performance by Mance Lipscomb traces the blues tradition to its work song taproot with Captain, Captain.

Titles include: ALBERT COLLINS Iceman, Lights Are On But Nobody's Home, Head Rag FREDDIE KING Big Leg Woman, Blues Band Shuffle, Going Down LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Baby, Come Go Home With Me, Going Down Slow, Bunion Stew, Let's Pull A Party MANCE LIPSCOMB Captain, Captain, Night Time Is The Right Time, God Moves On The Water, Which Way Do The Red River Run

I play this for close friends. They, of course, have never heard of of him. Then, they ask why it doesn’t ha one million likes.
