It took nearly every cent I had... He's the best, without much question; so I'm not going to record anyone else. I think you should get this out as quickly as possible. No matter what has to be delayed. He's pretty hot at this moment, and after we listened to the playback we both agreed he'd never sung better. \"Charters was intent on Lightnin' singing to an acoustic guitar. Lightnin's electric guitar was in pawn but in any case, Charters dismissed it in favour of an acoustic in poor condition and requiring a set of strings. Lightnin', needed the money, so didn't argue the point. Later, Charters added, \"He sang until he became so tense emotionally that it was impossible to talk to him. He drank steadily but he seemed to play more brilliantly and sing with even greater intensity... \"That session, and later 1960 sessions featuring Lightnin' on acoustic guitar form the material for this collection. Music making, whatever the genre, doesn't get much more intense or masterly than this.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenitentiary Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Luck and Trouble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Go Home with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble Stay 'Way from My Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee That My Grave Is Kept Clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoin' Back to Florida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReminiscences of Blind Lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell Me, Baby 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's Mine 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTil the Gin Gets Here 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Long Baby 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBunion Stew 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got to Work to Get Your Pay 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo Down Ol' Hannah 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Fe Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHear My Black Dog Bark 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Time 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRainy Day Blues 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorryin' My Mind 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby! 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Gone Like a Turkey Through the Corn 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee See Rider 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrison Blues Come Down on Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Mean Old Twister (Backwater Blues) 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGonna Pull a Party 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluebird Bluebird 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Off My Toe 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Haired Woman 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama and Papa Hopkins 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the Saints Go Marching in 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Evening When the Sun Goes Down 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Foot Race Is on 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle Up and Go 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Gambling Life 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75 Highway 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble in Mind 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Meeting 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Long Have It Been Since You Been Home 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Black Cadillac Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoffee House Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStool Pigeon Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall of Twine 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocky Mountain 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot to Move Your Baby 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Sorry to Leave You 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake a Trip with Me 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Night Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightnin's Stroke 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard to Love a Woman 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversation Blues 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomoblie Blues 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Better Watch Yourself 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Old Frisco 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShinin' Moon 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Back Baby 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinkin' 'Bout An Old Friend 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Walkin' Blues 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to New Orleans 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKatie Mae 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown There Baby 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRainy Highway 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen My First Wife Quit Me 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk on 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightnin's Guitar Boogie 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Had My Fun If I Don't Get Well No More 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Charlie 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMighty Crazy 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonder Why 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Cat 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Trouble Blues 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Own Fault, Baby, to Treat Me the Way You Do 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightnin's Piano Boogie 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake It Easy 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Go Home with Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"541","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50562367783208,"sku":"78806571722","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2245852.jpg?v=1763984887","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/hopkins-lightnin-acoustic-years-1959-60-cd-78806571722","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
