Lightnin’ Hopkins: Mojo Hand (1962)
The man and album which influenced a generation of young British artists (Animals, Stones, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac) who created the British Blues Explosion in the 60s. Dark and menacing, mysterious language (although we understand more of it these days) and remarkable guitar playing. Hopkins wasn’t yet 50 when he recorded it but he sounded like an ancient voice from another place and time. Because he was.
