Lightnin' Hopkins - Guitar, Piano, Vocals 

Compilation of Sittin' In With/Jax material.

"This album was recorded at the peak of Lightning Hopkins' career in 1950/1951. It includes his two biggest hits 'Hello Central' and 'Coffee Blues' as well as thirteen other tracks taken directly from the original analog tapes." ---discogs.com

Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins learned the blues from Blind Lemon Jefferson in the Twenties. He was a ferocious electric stylist in the Fifties, though he's perhaps best known for his nimble acoustic fingerpicking during the Sixties folk-blues revival. As unpredictable as John Lee Hooker, he seemed to be making it up as he went along, and often was. ---rollingstone.com
