anyone familiar with Lightnin' Hopkins?

hey,

I have no idea why but recently I'm suffering from a blues-addiction. I came across the name lightnin hopkins quite a few times in the past weeks. Can anyone recommend some cd's I should get from this guy? thx

Weird. I JUST NOW finished uploading his DOUBLE BLUES CD onto my I-Pod. Don't know if this is a good one to start out with, but it's one of my favorites. You might want to venture over to allmusic.com and check out his discography for more ideas. You can always start with a "Best of" compilation.

my gram'pa was partial to a lightnin' hopkins tune called
"shaggy daddy"...good guitar work, ol' lightin' does...
posture your mandables towards the sky
and oscilate them in an apathetic manner

throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care
