Lighting Hopkins - Blues in My Bottle

Lighting Hopkins - Blues in My Bottle
By jchris in Vinyl about 1 year ago.

“When a man get’s hairy, you know he need a shave. When a woman get’s musty, you know she needs to bathe.” – Buddy Brown’s Blues

Lightning Hopkins is obviously one of those people who can play guitar and sing, all while smoking a cigarette. His comfort with his songs is evident throughout all his work. Just a few lines later in Buddy Brown’s Blues he sings “I got something to tell you, make the hair stand up on your head”, and after that, the rest of the song is humming. These days, they call that balls.

I first got into Lightning when I was about 15, and someone got me a compilation of his music on CD. I listened to that CD over and over again until I lost it (that’s what CDs are for). Now I’ve got it Lighting on vinyl, and I’ll be playing this record again and again as I put together the Pix website. Ah, work from home.
