Lightnin' Hopkins - Lightnin in New York - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Vinyl LP

These recordings capture Lightnin' Hopkins at a pivotal moment in his career. Made in 1960, when the Texas bluesman was no longer a star within the black community but was becoming a folk legend, the sessions showcase his deeply personal music, which reflected the experiences of his community while touching a universal nerve. Producer Chris Strachwitz called Hopkins's records "brief audio snapshots of one of the great folk poets to emerge from the African-American experience in Texas." This Pure Pleasure reissue is pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
