After debuting at No. 1 last week, Lightnin’ Hopkins’s album Goin’ Away falls to No. 2 with 754,000, a sales slide of 59%. This is the first studio album from Lightnin’ Hopkins since bad diagnosis in 1963. There is no doubt that Lightnin’ Hopkins has talent. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
Lightnin’ Hopkins has astounded me with this amazing track. Stranger Here has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Lightnin’ Hopkins offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Goin’ Away make listening to Lightnin’ Hopkins like being in some sort of time warp. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Goin’ Away. I like the idea behind Business You’re Doin’. I’m Wit’ It is Lightnin’ Hopkins’s best work in years.
