Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.

Many have said that Lightnin' Hopkins woke up The Dead when he played San Francisco in the 1960's. So it is appropriate that his song 'Wake Up The Dead' is the centerpiece of this two and a half hour journey into the world of electrified Texas blues. Accompanying Lightnin' on this journey is his long time harmonica player, Billy Bizor. While Lightnin' had a prolific recording career--and a massive reputation as a result of some key stunning sessions--Bizor's stature is relatively obscure due to a lack of solo recordings released during his lifetime. Fortunately, 'Wake Up The Dead' seeks to rectify that situation by including the complete June 17, 1968 session with Lightnin' and Bizor, plus all of Bizors' 1969 solo recordings.

An added bonus is the remainder of of the April 11,1969 session that is represented on the Lightnin' Hopkin's 'Shootin Fire' companion release (CICD-41169). The highlight of the session has to be the nine minutes of outtakes of the colossal Hopkins original, 'Mojo Hand'.

Never before have the complete tapes from these sessions been released. All tracks are taken from the original three and four track masters to accentuate the magical chemistry between Lightnin' and Bizor.
