The record
Eight sides of Lightnin' Hopkins on Prestige, this copy a UK stereo pressing carrying P 7806 and a 1964 date. The credits name Hopkins alone. The titles set the tone -- 'Blues Is A Feeling', 'Me And Ray Charles', 'I Work Down On The Chain Gang', 'Meet Me In The Bottom'. Blues on a jazz label, and none the worse for it.
