Artists Only and Candid are proud to release this quintessential and classic recording by the Blues legend, Lightnin' Hopkins.
Lightnin' in New York is essential for both the aficionado and the new comer to the blues. Lightnin' in New York captures the essence of the artist at his prime. This true classic was recorded in 1960 and was produced by Nat Hentoff. Nat and engineer, Bob d'Orleans, captured Lightnin's singing with more presence and depth of timbre than perhaps ever before. His guitar playing aches with the same emotion as his singing voice, sometimes more. Highlights from Lightnin' in New York include: "Mighty Crazy."

Sam Lightnin’ Hopkins went alone to New York in October, 1960. He had been in the city briefly for a few years before to record, but this was to be the first extended stay and his initial series of concert and night club appearances in the East.
It was at this time that this recording was made in featuring Lightnin’ on piano, guitar and vocals (he even does all three simultaneously at one point!) In this album, he has continued to illustrate how fresh, personal and surprising the blues still can be when they’re moulded by so strong and confident a source as this man from Houston.
