Lightnin' Hopkins — Lightnin' Strikes
All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab
180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings
Recorded in 1966 for the Verve Folkways label, Lightnin' Strikes may not have the notoriety as some of Hopkins' other albums, but this set backed by Jimmy Bond (bass), Earl Palmer (drums) and Don Crawford (harmonica) is classic Lightnin'. From the opener, "Mojo Hand," to the ballad "Woke Up This Morning," Lightnin' Strikes showcases classic blues from one of the best there was. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
