Lightnin' Hopkins - Blues In My Bottle (Bluesville Series / Remastered) (1961/2026)

The 1961 solo acoustic album by Lightnin’ Hopkins features the legend at his finest. Showcasing Hopkins’ guitar and vocals, Blues in My Bottle shines a spotlight on his blues mastery. The album contains Hopkins’ performances of originals, traditional standards, and renditions of covers. This album has been newly remastered from the original tapes and is available on hi-res.

The late, great Lightnin' Hopkins was one of the most natural of bluesmen, a poet who would often make up lyrics as he recorded. He was at his best when unaccompanied, as on this Prestige date recorded in 1961. Though he usually played electric guitar, the Texas blues titan performed on this release with an acoustic, and the result is most rewarding. Tunes include "Goin' to Dallas to See My Pony Run" and "Buddy Brown's Blues."
