When it comes to blues guitarists, there aren't many who have been as influential as Lightnin' Hopkins.
His ragged, unconventional style of guitar playing has inspired countless musicians over the years.
Anyone who plays guitar has stolen licks from him at one time or another.
Hopkins was also a master storyteller.
Blues Hoot shows off these abilities as it captures Hopkins in 1961 collaborating with fellow blues legends, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.
Recorded live in Hollywood at the Ash Grove, the sound quality of this record is stunning.
It sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Tape hiss is nonexistent, and the dynamic range will make you sit up and take notice.
CONDITION:
COVER NEAR MINT
I don't rate it as MINT only because it is not Sealed.
DISC NEAR MINT
Once again it would be MINT if sealed.
I bought it new, I am the only owner and listened only really a very few times.
No issues, no scratches, no marks, amazing outstanding sound, completely clean as brand new MINT.

Record Collector's Grading System:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
