Lightnin' Hopkins - The Complete Aladdin Recordings

Release Date: 1991
Recording Date: November 9, 1946


Review by Bill Dahl
This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," "Abilene," "Shotgun" -- all these and more rate with his seminal performances.
