REVIEW “Lightning is a giant in the (blues) field and an icon that almost every student of the music has heard or will hear. His rambling lead guitar runs float over his solid bass figures and the off-the-cuff understatement of the autobiographical and often humorous lyrics attest to Lightning's expertise and primacy in the Texas blues idiom. If you don't have any Lightning in your collection, this is a good place to start. If you have some Lightning, but not any of his Arhoolie material, then you can correct this injustice with `Texas Blues.'”(Steve Franz — Rock & Roll Disc) |
