Blue Lightnin'


Blue Lightnin' is an album by blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins recorded in Texas in 1965 and released on Stan [Lewis (record label owner)|Stan Lewis]' Jewel Records label in 1967.

Reception

reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "After a slew of albums aimed primarily at the folk-blues audience that resuscitated his flagging career during the early '60s, Lightnin' Hopkins attempted to regain his original fan base with these unpretentious 1965 sessions for Stan Lewis' Jewel logo. Pretty convincingly, too,".
