The Blues According To Lightnin' Hopkins
Thanks to pal Jody for bringing this incredible video to our attention. Click here to watch the 1967 film of Lightnin's visit to his hometown in Centerville, Texas.
Les Blank also did a short, The Sun's Gonna Shine, using additional footage from Texas. Look for a full color cameo from the Rock Island Railroad! DIG IT here: http://bit.ly/esYmeg
