Hopkins Lightnin"': Blues in my bottle

Blues In A Bottle. One of the most prolific of bluesmen, Sam "'Lightnin"' Hopkins was equally one of the most revered - a musician who delivered a highly personalised line in country blues, but could also run a line in electric guitar boogie that made him a jukebox favourite. Recorded in Houston during July 1961, Blues In My Bottle is a fine example of Hopkins"' storytelling skills and his unlimited ability to shape the blues in all its various forms.
