LIGHTNING HOPKINS
Sam Hopkins was a Texas country bluesman of the highest caliber whose career began
in the 1920s and stretched all the way into the 1980s. Along the way, Hopkins watched
the genre change remarkably, but he never appreciably altered his mournful
Lone Star sound, which translated onto both acoustic and electric guitar.
Hopkins' nimble dexterity made intricate boogie riffs seem easy, and his fascinating
penchant for improvising lyrics to fit whatever situation might
arise made him a beloved blues troubadour
