Title: Lightnin’ Hopkins – Live From The Ash Grove…Plus! Format: Vinyl Label: WienerWorld Barcode: 089353514020

Release date: July 26th 2024

The legendary blues guitarist performed at Los Angeles’ famed Ash Grove venue on many occasions over the club’s decade-and-a-half existence. Ten of the songs on this set are compiled from two separate performances at the club, and none of the performances on the album have previously been available commercially.

Tracks 1-14 consists of acoustic tracks with song introductions from a set recorded on November 29, 1970. Tracks 15-16 are acoustic performances from September 22, 1965. The disc is rounded out with four electric tracks with his band from Palo Alto’s In Your Ear club recorded on August 18, 1971. While most of the tunes are originals, the set lists include some distinctive cover versions of the R&B classics “What I’d Say” and “Hi-Heel Sneakers,” along with some folk/gospel nuggets, “Don’t The Moon Look Pretty” and “How Long Has It Been.”
