Lightnin' (subtitled The Blues of Lightnin' Hopkins) is an album by the blues musician Lightnin' Hopkins, recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label the following year.

[1][2] AllMusic reviewer Alex Henderson stated: "Lightnin' is among the rewarding acoustic dates Lightnin' Hopkins delivered in the early '60s.

The session has an informal, relaxed quality, and this approach serves a 48-year-old Hopkins impressively well ... Lightnin' is a lot like being in a small club with Hopkins as he shares his experiences, insights and humor with you".

[3] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings awarded the album 3 stars, noting that "Lightnin's performances are unfailingly fluent, perhaps because he doesn't challenge himself: almost all the songs on Lightnin' are well-tried pieces from his core repertoire".
