about

On this special edition of Blues Unlimited, join us as two legendary musicians share their richly compelling narratives, and speak openly and candidly about their lives in the blues. Lightnin' Hopkins talks to author and scholar Sam Charters, during a 1964 interview, about hard times growing up in Texas and some of his early influences, while Son House speaks to Studs Terkel, in an informal chat session from 1965, about being a preacher on the one hand, and a blues singer on the other. It’s Lightnin’ Hopkins and Son House, in story and song, on this episode of Blues Unlimited.
