Ain't nothin special, just one of the greatest bluesmen in history at his best. He don't need a dozen foot pedals or an orchestra he does it all just right. No wonder all the real blues players mention his name when asked for their influences, there are a lot of great ones but he is right up there in the top drawer, the very top drawer.

I asked a dear late friend one time, many years ago, who his favourite Blues player was. He was a total Charlie Parker-bebop freak, next to that, SRV-and I turned him onto Ronnie Earl (by the time he passed he had every Ronnie Earl album made at the time-quite a few) and so I kinda thought I knew what his answer would be. So I was surprised when he thought for a while and said “Lighting Hopkins.” I thought he was funnin’ me. His place used to be like a tavern for a select group of aficionados and we listened to Blues while arguing the world issues for over 25 years. I inherited his music collection-no Lightning Hopkins in the lot (about eight boxes of vinyl and a couple boxes of CDs. I just remember his conviction, the way he thought about it, just me and him having a beer on a hot afternoon. Then he said, “Lightning’s the real Blues-Stevie Ray, Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf were all great Bluesmen, but Hopkins was the real deal, natural, country Blues-kinda like how you play it: nice and simple with feeling.” That blew me away. I just never thought I’d ever hear anything like that! So I says: “Get serious! Me? No way!” And he said, “where’d you learn that kinda shuffle and lead thing you do, then?” He was an astute musicologist, my-our friend was. Somehow he knew-and swear, I never told him-that I musta listened to a lot of Sam Hopkins at some point. And here I almost forgot: I did play the grooves offa a couple of Hopkins’ LPs, way back before my friend and I ever met. So whenever I lay down some shuffle (like last week for a seniors’ lunch on our little island), I always remember my friend whom I miss a lot. And Sam “Lightning Hopkins.” That’s where I learned how to shuffle. Forever indebted. XO

Because Lightning Sam Hopkins had lived that hard harsh life. And he had the ankle scars from his Shackles to prove it too. I adored Poor Lightning. He was my beginning with guitar. And open tuned blues. In the Texas tradition. I miss Sam Hopkins, and Joel Squatty Hopkins most muchly. God bless their eternal Souls. God bless Mrs. Lola Ann Cullum. She bought me my first store bought tropical weight sharkskin suit. And a fine white linen suit and some Lucchasse Black Lizard Cowboy boots. God bless her fine eternal soul. As the blessed Angels attend her in Heaven.

Loved Sam Hopkins. When I turned 18 in 1972 and could go to clubs where alcohol was served, I went to see Lightnin' perform in Houston whenever he would perform. Very special artist. Best show I saw was at Liberty Hall on Chenevert St. in August 1976 when Lightnin' lead off a show for James Cotton. It was his birthday and he was late to arrive and the crowd was irrate. Lightnin' came on and calmed down the crowd with a killer performance. Long live Lightnin'.

Lightning Sam Hopkins and his brother Joel Squatty Hopkins. Were dear and close friends to, and of my great grandfather John B. Orr. He had a large farm outside of Centerville Texas. I learned all about playing music, and capturing an audience from Lightning Hopkins. He taught me how to take advantage of a guitar. I am an old man now. With Lung Cancer. Living day by day. I dream about riding my pinto pony Clyde Barrow and having a cool drink of water and fresh biscuits with honey and butter. Piping hot and strong coffee and country bacon with Boss Lightning and Boss Joel Hopkins. God bless their eternal souls. They were my beloved friends and my teachers and mentors.....

Nothing new can compare to this. I don’t know what’s up with this everything sounds the same so called blues now days. These older blues men all are so unique, and their rhythm players add so much. I love this guy.

He has his own distinctive style (the twang) for his blues. So different from the Chicago blues that I grew up on in the 1960's. I love Lightnin's voice too, that smooth drawl. I have several LPs on vinyl from the old days. Still in rotation.

I've been playing on and off since the 80s, Savoy Brown and Jeff Beck were a big influence for me, but I was raised in the middle of all kinds of jazz and blues guys. Lightning is the Top One in my book.
