“Goin’ Away” originally released by Prestige Bluesville in 1963, is a prime example of his Texas country blues style. The album captures Hopkins‘ laid-back, improvisational approach to guitar playing and storytelling.
Lightnin’ Hopkins passed away in 1982, but his legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in blues history.
