Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin' Hopkins: Masters of the Country Blues

Within the borders of Texas, black music was rich and vital with a particular sound all its own. Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin' Hopkins were two of the greatest blues men to record. Mance was a consummate country blues fingerpicker, while Lightnin' developed a fast jump style that fit well with post war blues. A new transfer from original film masters brings improved sound and picture to these performances. Each DVD/VHS intimately captures the artists and their techniques, communicating the power and eloquence of blues as played by its masters.
