Im rarely impressed with any guitar player anymore. There are only a few that I hold as close as Lightnin' and Rory Gallagher.
I love you. God Rest you. xx | |

I admire you like you could never imagine. You're music, your way, your talent. everyday of my life I wake up to you, usually end the night with you as well. The influence you've had on me is unimaginable. I try and try and try to play like you but I realize there is only one Lightnin. I introduce people to you all the time and they are just as blown away as I am when they hear you, it only takes once, that a sign of a true legend. I would give anything in the world to have met you, jam with you anything, its a real shame I never can. But I do know this, you're alive me each and everytime I hear your songs...It came from your heart and it is coming straight from mine. | |

Lightnin',
You have been an inspiration to me for 30 years. I never tire of hearing your music or watching the videos I have of you. My acoustic blues has a lot of you in it. One of my biggest thrills in life was in Dallas, Texas. I was trying out an old acoustic guitar I found while in a thrift store. It was a raggy old harmony guitar. I had my back turned and a black woman tapped me on the shoulder and said, "you sound just like Lightnin' Hopkins". Gotta tell how immensely proud I was to hear that. But you know Lightnin', nobody played the blues or sang them like you, ever, or since. Just thought you should know. Jocko James (bluesman) | |

Lightnin'...I have played for years, and after 20 years or so, I heard one of your recordings, and everything changed from that moment on. 25 years on down the road and I am still playin those low down, mean-ole blues. I finally found the voice to express the feelings I feel! Your music and memory will live on...R.I.P.

You have a wonderful style about you. I wish that I could have seen you play but your recordings will have to do. You were also a great influence on my idol Jimi Hendrix as he had multiple albums of yours. R.I.P. brother. | |

I always called him "My Guit-Father".. He taught me the understanding of "lead playing" thru his recordings (He was 'the epiphany'!). A TRUE Master! Stylist!! His presentation, lyrics, singing, you name it!!.. made him the Absolute & Quintessential Country-Blues Artist!! www.markbrine.com | |
