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.
