These nine Hopkins' originals from the early sixties were recorded just as the 1960s American folk/blues revival was beginning to get underway. This new mass musical movement sparked new interest in Hopkins, and the veteran blues singer/guitarist was soon elevated to living legend status. Inspired by great Texas bluesmen like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Hopkins was known to improvise blues masterpieces at the drop of a hat, often using semi-autobiographical tales to describe life in the segregated South. These classic recordings, which include "Mojo Hand", "Coffee For Mama", "Black Mare Trot" and "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" are some of Hopkins' most memorable material.
