is an album by the blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins recorded in California in 1969 and released on the Poppy label as a double LP.
[1][2] Poppy Records failed to meet the terms of its agreement and, in 1972, Chris Strachwitz released five of the tracks on his Arhoolie label as Lightning Hopkins in Berkeley.
By 1982, a California court ruled that all rights should revert to Hopkins, and Strachwitz released another eight tracks from the sessions on Arhoolie as Po' Lightnin' in 1983.
At the time of the original release Ralph J. Gleason's Rolling Stone review stated: "This is a twin LP package of twenty tracks by the great blues singer and guitarist and includes many of his older classics, as well as a lot of new material.
[7] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings stated: "The programme contains a good deal of familiar stuff, not outstandingly well done".
