Lightnin Hopkins California Mudslide And Earthquake Limited Edition Uk Vinyl

Lightnin’ Hopkins' legendary Vault LP ‘California Mudslide’, now reissued for very the first time on heavyweight color edition vinyl. A true Texas Bluesman, Hopkins learned guitar on a cigar-box with chicken-wire strings at age eight and by ten, was jamming with icons like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Texas Alexander. Despite being recorded in the 1960s, these tracks echo the soulful essence of the 1920s. Hopkins' career spanned six-decades with a distinctive style that never wavered. Renowned for his sharp wit and unyielding swagger, often sporting a tilted porkpie hat and Ray-Bans, Hopkins embodied the essence of blues culture. Enjoy this record once again, played “in the key of Lightin’ Hopkins.”
