Description
The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition 180g audiophile pressing. Lightnin' Hopkins (1912-1982) was a country bluesman of the highest calibre whose career began in the 1920s and stretched all the way into the 1980s. One of the most influential blues guitarists to come out of the state of Texas, Hopkins' unique fingerpicking guitar style would alternate single-note leads with rhythm and bass guitar, adding percussive elements by slapping or tapping the body of his guitar.
The Rooster Crowed in England was recorded in in Houston, Texas in 1959, a few years before Lightnin' Hopkins' first trip across the Atlantic. His first appearance in London was as part of the 1964 International American Folk Blues Festival tour.
Includes the bonus tracks "Bring Me My Shotgun" and "Back To New Orleans".
