SSD did not drive me away from this fine show.

Thanks for the main page improvement: an icon for the alternate streams that's on when they have a live program.

Why did they call him Lightnin'?

@Dave: A lot of music can also be pretty repetitive and formulaic, fwiw. Just sayin.

This show is far better than that other show despite it’s tendency towards depression and sadness.

@Frederick. Wiki sayeth:

"Hopkins took a second shot at Houston in 1946. While singing on Dowling Street in Houston's Third Ward (which would become his home base), he was discovered by Lola Anne Cullum of Aladdin Records, based in Los Angeles. She convinced Hopkins to travel to Los Angeles, where he accompanied the pianist Wilson Smith. The duo recorded twelve tracks in their first sessions in 1946. An Aladdin executive decided the pair needed more dynamism in their names and dubbed Hopkins "Lightnin'" and Wilson "Thunder"."

JakeGould:

It’s amazing and confusing how many Lightnin’ Hopkins collections there are out there.
Avatar 7:13pm
Fredericks:

Ha, I assumed it was due to his speedy fret work.

G:

Small time commercialism ftw, Frederick haha
Avatar 7:16pm
Fredericks:

Jake, my understanding for the vastness of his catalog has to do with the fact that Lightnin' knew he'd get ripped of for royalties, so he would record for anybody for $400 a song.
  7:17pm
JakeGould:

Dude has like 80+ albums! He’d be stuck in traffic, record and album and get paid. www.discogs.com...

Fredericks:

Legend has it, he got paid after each song or he wouldn't record another.

a lot of those guys did that. John Lee Hooker must have double that
  7:21pm
JakeGould:

Yeah, John Lee Hooker did the same. www.discogs.com...

i knew something was weird. i didn't remember having to decide between weekly world blues, crayons to perfume AND bodega pop live before.
kinda sucks. (for me anyway)

He's got 80 albums, too?

This show is a double ass bitch.
  7:24pm
JakeGould:

The tally is…

• Lightnin’ Hopkins: 85 albums, 183 compilations.
• John Lee Hooker: 72 albums, 429 compilations.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:24pm
coelacanth∅:

i think Hooker must have many more original albums than Hopkins (and likely more comps too)
he had a 60-year career.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:26pm
coelacanth∅:

oh that kinda makes sense. he had many more singles than Lightnin'. maybe they never made it onto original albums.

Dayyyym Matt! I like this Cat Hop song I'm hearing, and I'll only hear it on this show, cause its $246 on Discogs. I'll never hear it in my living room at that going rate.

Glitter?

Can score it on this cool cat compilation here. www.discogs.com...

From the intro, I thought the Dylan tune was Mississippi John Hurt.

Don't ruin the mystique of you owning records fancy records.
I should go buy that cat CD and blast it in my house when my dogs are jerks.
  7:45pm
JakeGould:

Cats are better organized and thus can issue compilations more readily.

JakeGould: Louis Jordan was the Prince of barnyard songs.
