LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS - The Last Concert | Full Album (1981)

Sam Hopkins passed away on Janury 30, 1982 at the age of 69. A mere 61 days after his last performance. If you're a blues fan I don't think I need to mention how important this recording is.

Samuel John "Lightnin'" Hopkins (March 15, 1912 – January 30, 1982) was an American country blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, and occasional pianist, from Centerville, Texas. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 71 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

The musicologist Robert "Mack" McCormick opined that Hopkins is "the embodiment of the jazz-and-poetry spirit, representing its ancient form in the single creator whose words and music are one act".
