Recording information: ACA Studios, Houston, Texas; Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (1960 - 1964). Although Prestige was primarily known as a jazz label, they did host some superb blues artists, including the brilliant, idiosyncratic Texas guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins. Hopkins was only with Prestige for a spell in the early 1960s, but this excellent 16-track collection skims the cream from his output for the label. Featured in both solo and group settings, Hopkins lays down his inimitable sparse, country-blues guitar style, not to mention his legendary ability to improvise wry, comic stories.   Compilation Appearances Best Of The Blues Vol. 1-All Time Classic Blues Great Blues Men Great Bluesmen-Newport Festiva Part 1-Folk Music-At Newport Smithsonian Folkways-American 1962-65 Highlights 1962-65 American Folk Blues Fe Absolutely The Best Of The Blu Frett'n The Blues Best Of The Best Blues Album In The World.
