Lightnin' In New York captures the iconic Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins at the peak of his powers during a rare 1960 recording session in Manhattan. Marking a pivotal moment in his career, the album showcases Hopkins’ magnetic guitar work, expressive vocals, and even spotlights his rarely-heard piano playing, providing an intimate glimpse of a true blues legend.
This release, produced by renowned critic and social activist Nat Hentoff, has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes for a truly authentic listening experience. Fans and collectors will appreciate the distinctive atmosphere of the session, complete with the hidden track “Black Cat,” which appears on the LP but is not listed on the jacket or labels.
