You can find oodles of information on this man. Just go to Wikipedia here for his biographical sketch; you can also find many videos, some of them live, on YouTube. Just enter “Lightnin’ Hopkins” and your computer will do the rest. I have nothing further to add about the man and his music that you couldn’t find elsewhere on the net.
I tried to pin-point when Hopkins’ “I Like to Boogie” was recorded, but I couldn’t be any more specific than the mid-to-late 60s. This was the era that he recorded for the Prestige label. It must be during this era, too, because the electro blues style of the track was certainly indicative of the times.
