Released in 1962, this VeeJay collection of solo and small group sides captures Lightnin' Hopkins during a period when he was being heralded by the new, mostly white audience of the "blues revival", as one of the last great practitioners of genuine country blues. In keeping with the popular tendency of the time to gear blues artists toward the R&B and rock markets, a couple of tracks include heavily amplified electric instruments and a thudding rhythm section.
The rest of Lightnin' Strikes features Hopkins' nimble finger picking and earthy, intense vocals in evidence at every turn. The evocative, almost spectral feel of Hopkins' brand of Texas blues is heightened here by the production's dark, resonant quality, most notably on "Want to Come Home" and "Walkin' Round in Circles".
