The record
Six of the nine titles start with 'I' -- 'I Woke Up This Morning,' 'I Asked The Bossman,' 'I Was Standing On 75 Highway' -- and that first person is the whole appeal: Lightnin' Hopkins' voice and guitar, with Leonard Gaskin's bass and Herbie Lovelle's drums the only other players named. Prestige PR 1086 from 1965, notes by Chris Albertson.
