Talk about Lightnin' Hopkins - Original Folk Blues


Iriar
The record covers show two different marketing ideas, use the title of a song “Lonesome Dog Blues” as the cover theme, of just call it Sings the Blues and put a beautiful woman on the cover. These are sides that Modern Records purchased from Gold Star. Modern originally released them on 78s their RPM label. United Superior was a cheapie label owned by Modern. They would often sell LPs for 99 cents or $1.99. Kent and Crown labels were also imprints of Modern Records. All good stuff on here, especially “Jake Head” or “Jake Head Boogie” as it’s called on Sings the Blues.
