The record
Lightnin' Hopkins on guitar and vocal, with Leonard Gaskin's bass and Belton Evans' drums the only other players the credits name -- a rhythm pair light enough to stay out of his way on 'Automobile Blues,' 'Mean Old Frisco' and 'Katie Mae.' Ten tracks, Prestige PRLP 1019 from 1964, sleeve design by Don Schlitten and a cover photograph by Ed Badeaux.
