I wanted to taste the gin. breathe the smoke. and feel as if I was sitting in the juke joint. This book did not provide that for me. Written more from a reporter perspective. it gives the necessary details on Lightnins recording career. but does not provide enough background on the world he lived in. His family members and those close to him seem little more than photographs. The book does give a sense of the private nature of the man. but with the dearth of detail about his personal life one is left wondering why he was so elusive. The discography is helpful. It makes sense out of the confusing list of songs he recorded on multiple occasions. Despite my misgivings I would still recommend the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Po Lighnin splained for trueBy J. WilliamsLightninrsquo;s story Is well-told and worth the read. Some of us are old enough to have lived in those early times and for that dwindling crowd the story may sometimes dwell on the obvious but for younger generations perhaps that is necessary. The book fills in a lot of gaps. paints a three dimensional portrait of a great bluesman. and has a great discography. I first heard ldquo;Hello Centralrdquo; on a jukebox as a boy and was immediately taken with it and became an instant fan. Highly recommended for those who want to dig deeper into the man and his times.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Lightnin Hopkins bookBy Neil RiethmullerHaving enjoyed Lightnings music since first being exposed to it in the 1960s. it was rewarding to learn more detail of his life and music. The book confirms my knowledge gained over the years from LP cover notes. occasional articles etc. The overview of his status in the blues recording world and perception of his distinctive style was reassuring. His own songs are fairly autobiographical. They added to the stock of already extant blues present as "folk music". Contextualising his work is important to his audience after he has passed on. Thanks to Alan Govenar for his work. The extra information eg exactly how his song "Fishin clothes" came to be repeatedly called "Fishin clothes" solves mysteries that are provoked by Lightnins own songs and the milieu he lived through.
