The forerunner of minimalist grunge guitar
09/03/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I really love this album, 'though I know I shouldn't in the "snob" sense. Lightnin' Hopkins is simply my favorite electric guitar player. I like every single song on this album -- Lightnin' is like a sprightly John Lee Hooker when he goes electric. I prefer Lightnin' plugged in to unplugged. Plugged in he's something else entirely. "Brand New Automobile" and "Mr. Charlie (Pt. II)" are slow grinding wonders. I keep going back to this low-budget enterprise time and again, and really enjoy it. Well worth the piddly-squat price!"

"I simply love Lightnin's electric guitar playing. He's like a sprightly John Lee Hooker when he plugs in. I really like this album even though I know I "shouldn't"! It's a low-budget wonder. Lightnin' stretches out in this incredibly slow-granding way with tunes like "Brand New Automobile" and "Mister Charlie II". I play this album often because it is so innocuously enjoyable."
