Lightnin Hopkins - Mojo Hand

                                Sam Hopkins was a Texas country bluesman of the highest caliber whose career began in the 1920s and stretched all the way into the 1980s. Along the way, Hopkins watched the genre change remarkably, but he never appreciably altered his mournful Lone Star sound, which translated onto both acoustic and electric guitar. Hopkins' nimble dexterity made intricate boogie riffs seem easy, and his fascinating penchant for improvising lyrics to fit whatever situation might arise made him a beloved blues troubadour.(AllMusic)

“People have learned how to strum a guitar, but they don’t have the soul. They don’t feel it from the heart. It hurts me. I’m killin’ myself to tell them how it is.”
-Lightnin’ Hopkins, 1968 Interview


                     Samuel John "Lightnin'" Hopkins (March 15, 1912 – January 30, 1982)

 Just before the start of the closing concert of the Holland International Blues Festival, the tune of the famous western series 'Bonanza' is heard loudly from the huge loudspeakers on the stage. To make himself recognizable, the driver who had to pick up Joe Bonamassa from Schiphol had put his name neatly on the screen of his tablet: 'Mr. Bonanza'. “Close enough to recognize myself” says Joe during his concert, still enjoying this confusion of names.
