Sam Hopkins was a Texas country bluesman of the highest caliber
whose career began in the 1920s and stretched all the way into the
1980s. Along the way, Hopkins watched the genre change remarkably,
but he never appreciably altered his mournful Lone Star sound, which
translated onto both acoustic and electric guitar. Hopkins' nimble
dexterity made intricate boogie riffs seem easy, and his fascinating
penchant for improvising lyrics to fit whatever situation might
arise made him a beloved blues troubadour.

As with its John Lee Hooker two-disc set, Rhino offers a very
pleasant way to begin serious appreciation of Lightnin' Hopkins'
humongous recorded legacy with this 41-track anthology. His Aladdin,
Gold Star, RPM, Sittin' in With, and Mercury output are all
liberally sampled on disc one, and there are a half-dozen of those
electrifying 1954 Herald sides that verged on rock & roll.

Disc two is a less exciting affair; those 1960s folk-blues and later
efforts usually pale in comparison to seminal early efforts. Still, for a
cogent overview of the guitarist's daunting discography, this is the place
to start.
