Lightnin' Hopkins - Mojo Hand: The Complete Fire Sessions [2xLP] – New LP

Hopkins 1962.  Texas.  Brilliant.

Lightnin’ Hopkins is widely considered one of the great popular architects of the blues style that came be known as “country blues” and which proved to be huge influence on the future development of Rock ‘n’ Roll. “Mojo Hand” was one of Hopkins‘ signature tunes. Mixing his own style with Louisiana Creole and voodoo culture, the song ripples with an occult energy. This album, recorded for Fire Records, is especially interesting...moody and powerful performances play throughout.
