Review

Down Beat (1/98, p.55) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "As idiosyncratic a guitar stylist who ever played blues....all the material...is packed with Hopkins' primitive power..."
Dirty Linen (6-7/96, p.73) - "...The remastered versions [of COUNTRY BLUES] sound marvelous..."
Sing Out! (4-5-6/96, pp.144-145) - "...Hopkins is at the top of his form throughout, which is to say that this is as good as postwar acoustic blues got....among the essential discs for any serious blues collection."

Title Note

Personnel: Lightnin' Hopkins (vocals, guitar); Luke "Long Gone" Miles (vocals).

Recorded in 1960. Includes liner notes by Mark McCormick.

One of the quintessential Texas bluesmen, Lightnin' Hopkins played in a variety of settings, but some of his finest recorded moments took place with just him and his guitar. COUNTRY BLUES, recorded for the Tradition label in 1960, captures Hopkins at his acoustic, stripped-down best. From the snaking "Long Time," through the mournful "Prison Blues Come Down on Me," to the sprightly "Till the Gin Gets Here," COUNTRY BLUES draws a straight line back to the roots of rural tradition.
