SEALED AUTHENIC INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS LABEL ISSUE
LIGHTIN HOPKINS
FREEFORM PATTERNS
USA - International Artists - IALP #6
STILL SEALED (never opened) authentic old vintage release on the legendary International Artists label, a very rare collectible released a few years later ...LIGHTIN LIGHTNIN' LIGHTNIN HOPKINS...
By the early 1960s Lightin' Hopkins reputation as one of the most compelling blues performers was cemented. He had finally earned the success and recognition which were overdue. In 1968, Hopkins recorded the album Free Form Patterns backed by the rhythm of psychedelic rock band the 13th Floor Elevators.
Lightnin' Hopkins originally recorded the ten tracks that make up Free Form Patterns on February 1, 1968, for the International Artists label. Also on that label's roster was the psychedelic group 13th Floor Elevators. For this session, producer Lelan Rogers (Kenny's brother) teamed Hopkins up with Elevators drummer Danny Thomas and bassist Duke Davis . No one tried to bend Hopkins to fit a foreign musical approach on Free Form Patterns; he made the music bend to him. Hopkins' style was born from spending many hours playing informally without a backing band. His distinctive fingerstyle playing often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead, percussion, and vocals, all at the same time. He played both "alternating" and "monotonic" bass styles incorporating imaginative, often chromatic turnarounds and single note lead lines. Tapping or slapping the body of his guitar added rhythmic accompaniment.
