LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Lightnin' Strikes (Verve Acoustic
Sounds Series 2025 limited edition 9-track stereo LP,

Originally released 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. Gatefold tip-on jacket
picture sleeve, hype sticker and factory sealed inside its
perforated loose bag. Recommended)
