"The Blues Accordin 'to Lightnin' Hopkins" is a documentary of 30 min. the recently deceased director Les Blank (1935-2013) about the legendary blues guitarist Lightnin Hopkins (Sam John Hopkins), released in 1969. The director followed the musician and attempted to show a bit of your routine in Texas two years earlier, in 1967, focusing on what would be the blues according to the roots of the guitarist. Hopkins was born in 1912 and died in 1982 due to esophageal cancer. Did much for the blues and the music playing in the best houses of the U.S. such as Carnegie Hall (NY) and then running the world, Hopkins was present in Germany and toured the land of the rising sun (Japan) experiencing more than 5 cities and bringing the blues to another level.
Also participated in the "American Folk Blues Festvial" (which will appear indco here next week) along with legends like Muddy Waters style, John Lee Hooker among the other beasts. But nowhere he felt as comfortable as playing in the dirt floor of her backyard. Filmed in Texas and watered the good songs, interviews, images from your routine and a good "stories" told by Hopkins, the film leaves a record of representation in the soul blues guitarist. Merging music and images that show the harsh reality in his city, the film touches on several stretches. Who does not shudder at times, was not born to the blues. "Be the Blues!" indco
