Recorded in 1966 for the Verve Folkways label, Lightnin’ Strikes might not be as well - known as some of Lightnin' Hopkins’ other albums. However, with Jimmy Bond on bass, Earl Palmer on drums, and Don Crawford on harmonica, this album is a true classic. From the opening track “Mojo Hand” to the ballad “Woke Up This Morning,” it showcases the best of classic blues. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series offers transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180 - gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging. Side 1 includes tracks like “Got Me A Louisiana Woman” and “Want To Come Home”. Side 2 features “War Is Starting Again” and “Walkin' Round In Circles”.
To enjoy this album, simply place the 180 - gram vinyl on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and in good working condition. When you're done listening, carefully return the vinyl to its deluxe gatefold packaging to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the album in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid touching the playing surface of the vinyl with your fingers as it can leave oils and dirt that may affect the sound quality.
